Information Theory as an Experimental Tool for Integrating Disparate Biophysical Signaling Modules

open access: yesInternational Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2022
There is a growing appreciation in the fields of cell biology and developmental biology that cells collectively process information in time and space. While many powerful molecular tools exist to observe biophysical dynamics, biologists must find ways to

Critical Phenomena in Plasma Membrane Organization and Function. [PDF]

open access: yesAnnual review of physical chemistry (Print), 2020
Lateral organization in the plane of the plasma membrane is an important driver of biological processes. The past dozen years have seen increasing experimental support for the notion that lipid organization plays an important role in modulating this ...

Biochemical and Biophysical Characterization of Carbonic Anhydrase VI from Human Milk and Saliva

open access: yesThe Protein Journal, 2022
Carbonic anhydrases (CA, EC 4.2.1.1) catalyze the hydration of carbon dioxide and take part in many essential physiological processes. In humans, 15 CAs are characterized, including the only secreted isoenzyme CA VI.

The meso scale as a frontier in interdisciplinary modeling of sustainability from local to global scales

open access: yesEnvironmental Research Letters, 2023
Achieving sustainable development requires understanding how human behavior and the environment interact across spatial scales. In particular, knowing how to manage tradeoffs between the environment and the economy, or between one spatial scale and ...

Materials and extracellular matrix rigidity highlighted in tissue damages and diseases: Implication for biomaterials design and therapeutic targets

open access: yesBioactive Materials, 2023
Rigidity (or stiffness) of materials and extracellular matrix has proven to be one of the most significant extracellular physicochemical cues that can control diverse cell behaviors, such as contractility, motility, and spreading, and the resultant ...

Peptide-based NTA(Ni)-nanodiscs for studying membrane enhanced FGFR1 kinase activities [PDF]

open access: yesPeerJ, 2019
Tyrosine autophosphorylation plays a crucial regulatory role in the kinase activities of fibroblast growth factor receptors (FGFRs), and in the recruitment and activation of downstream intracellular signaling pathways.

Integrated computational and experimental pipeline for quantifying local cell–matrix interactions

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2021
Cellular interactions with the extracellular matrix (ECM) play a key role in modulating biological processes. While studies have identified key molecular factors of these interactions, the mechanical regulation associated with these interactions is not ...
