Evolutionary ancestry and novel functions of the mammalian glucose transporter (GLUT) family
BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2010 Background In general, sugar porters function by proton-coupled symport or facilitative transport modes. Symporters, coupled to electrochemical energy, transport nutrients against a substrate gradient.

Physical Review Research, 2021 Evidence suggests that the transport rate of a passive particle at long time scales is enhanced due to interactions with the surrounding active ones in a size- and composition-dependent manner.

Reciprocal control of viral infection and phosphoinositide dynamics
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Phosphoinositides, although scarce, regulate key cellular processes, including membrane dynamics and signaling. Viruses exploit these lipids to support their entry, replication, assembly, and egress. The central role of phosphoinositides in infection highlights phosphoinositide metabolism as a promising antiviral target.

Splitting probabilities of confined chiral active Brownian particles
New Journal of PhysicsActive particles exhibit self-propulsion, leading to transport behavior that differs fundamentally from passive Brownian motion. In confined or structured domains, activity strongly influence escape probabilities and first-passage behavior. Understanding

Phosphatidylinositol 4‐kinase as a target of pathogens—friend or foe?
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.This graphical summary illustrates the roles of phosphatidylinositol 4‐kinases (PI4Ks). PI4Ks regulate key cellular processes and can be hijacked by pathogens, such as viruses, bacteria and parasites, to support their intracellular replication. Their dual role as essential host enzymes and pathogen cofactors makes them promising drug targets.

Collective protection and transport in entangled biological and robotic active matter [PDF]
, 2020 Living systems at all scales aggregate in large numbers for a variety of functions including mating, predation, and survival. The majority of such systems consist of unconnected individuals that collectively flock, school or swarm.

Protein pyrophosphorylation by inositol pyrophosphates — detection, function, and regulation
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Protein pyrophosphorylation is an unusual signaling mechanism that was discovered two decades ago. It can be driven by inositol pyrophosphate messengers and influences various cellular processes. Herein, we summarize the research progress and challenges of this field, covering pathways found to be regulated by this posttranslational modification as ...

Methodological advances in imaging intravital axonal transport [version 1; referees: 3 approved]
F1000Research, 2017 Axonal transport is the active process whereby neurons transport cargoes such as organelles and proteins anterogradely from the cell body to the axon terminal and retrogradely in the opposite direction.

Learning to control active matter
Physical Review Research, 2021 The study of active matter has revealed novel non-equilibrium collective behaviors, illustrating their potential as a new materials platform. However, most work treat active matter as unregulated systems with uniform microscopic energy input, which we ...
