Redox Signaling through DNA [PDF]
, 2016 Biological electron transfer reactions between metal cofactors are critical to many essential processes within the cell. Duplex DNA is, moreover, capable of mediating the transport of charge through its π-stacked nitrogenous bases.

Enhanced reaction kinetics in biological cells
, 2008 The cell cytoskeleton is a striking example of "active" medium driven out-of-equilibrium by ATP hydrolysis. Such activity has been shown recently to have a spectacular impact on the mechanical and rheological properties of the cellular medium, as well as

Modelling cytoskeletal traffic: an interplay between passive diffusion and active transport [PDF]
, 2012 We introduce the totally asymmetric exclusion process with Langmuir kinetics (TASEP-LK) on a network as a microscopic model for active motor protein transport on the cytoskeleton, immersed in the diffusive cytoplasm.

Non-Markovian Persistent Random Walk Model for Intracellular Transport
Fractal and Fractional, 2023 Transport of vesicles and organelles inside cells consists of constant-speed bidirectional movement along cytoskeletal filaments interspersed by periods of idling. This transport shows many features of anomalous diffusion. In this paper, we develop a non-

Bigraphical models for protein and membrane interactions [PDF]
, 2009 We present a bigraphical framework suited for modeling biological systems both at protein level and at membrane level. We characterize formally bigraphs corresponding to biologically meaningful systems, and bigraphic rewriting rules representing ...

The Process of Thermodialysis and Some of its Possible Consequences in Biology
CHIMIA, 1976 The flow of thermal energy in liquids is associated with the development of ponderomotive forces. In non-isothermal ionic or molecular solutions a drift of the disperse phase is thus produced (thermal diffusion).

Active Materials: Biological Benchmarks and Transport Limitations
, 2022 Abstract Recent works in cellular and molecular biophysics suggest that activity can drive dramatic changes to the properties of living materials and their fluctuations. Experimental investigations of active materials pose some challenges.

A Drone-Based Bioaerosol Sampling System to Monitor Ice Nucleation Particles in the Lower Atmosphere
Remote Sensing, 2020 Terrestrial ecosystems can influence atmospheric processes by contributing a huge variety of biological aerosols (bioaerosols) to the environment. Several types of biological particles, such as pollen grains, fungal spores, and bacteria cells, trigger ...

Diffusion of self-propelled particles in complex media
, 2018 The diffusion of active microscopic organisms in complex environments plays an important role in a wide range of biological phenomena from cell colony growth to single organism transport.

Review: Interactions of Active Colloids with Passive Tracers
Condensed Matter, 2019 Collective phenomena existing universally in both biological systems and artificial active matter are increasingly attracting interest. The interactions can be grouped into active-active and active-passive ones, where the reports on the purely active ...
