Biological physics in México: Review and new challenges. [PDF]
J Biol Phys, 2011 Biological and physical sciences possess a long-standing tradition of cooperativity as separate but related subfields of science. For some time, this cooperativity has been limited by their obvious differences in methods and views. Biological physics has recently experienced a kind of revival (or better a rebirth) due to the growth of molecular ...

Physical foundations of biological complexity [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2018 Significance Living organisms are characterized by a degree of hierarchical complexity that appears to be inaccessible to even the most complex inanimate objects. Routes and patterns of the evolution of complexity are poorly understood.

Active dynamics of tissue shear flow
New Journal of Physics, 2017 We present a hydrodynamic theory to describe shear flows in developing epithelial tissues. We introduce hydrodynamic fields corresponding to state properties of constituent cells as well as a contribution to overall tissue shear flow due to ...

From physical to biological individuation
Progress in Biophysics and Molecular Biology, 2016 In this paper, we insist on stressing the epistemic and metaphysical difference between individual and individuation, a distinction originally developed by Gilbert Simondon. Individuation occurs in complex physical systems by the coupling (R1) between the system and its outside conditions. As such the system is not well defined by its sole constituents.

Evaluation of measurement accuracy of wearable devices for heart rate variability
iScience, 2023 Summary: This paper proposed a method based on heart rate variability (HRV) for evaluating the accuracy of wearable devices in measuring heart rate. HRV refers to the variation in time intervals between successive heartbeats, widely used in many fields ...

Biological scaling and physics
Journal of Biosciences, 2002 Kleiber's law in biology states that the specific metabolic rate (metabolic rate per unit mass) scales as M- 1/4 in terms of the mass M of the organism. A long-standing puzzle is the (- 1/4) power in place of the usual expectation of (- 1/3) based on the surface to volume ratio in three-dimensions.
