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 ...

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 ...

Biophysical visual virtual reality in retinotopic visual areas [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Previously, we have pointed out that biophoton production can be a controlled process that originates from regulated redox/radical reactions. Our biophoton experiments support the notion that various visual related phenomena such as discrete retinal ...

Biophysical Mechanisms Mediating Fibrin Fiber Lysis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
The formation and dissolution of blood clots is both a biochemical and a biomechanical process. While much of the chemistry has been worked out for both processes, the influence of biophysical properties is less well understood. This review considers the

Oxidized Phospholipids Inhibit the Formation of Cholesterol-Dependent Plasma Membrane Nanoplatforms [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
We previously developed a single-molecule microscopy method termed TOCCSL (thinning out clusters while conserving stoichiometry of labeling), which allows for direct imaging of stable nanoscopic platforms with raft-like properties diffusing in the plasma

Imaging the cellular response to transient shear stress using time-resolved digital holography [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Shear stress has been recognized as one of the biophysical methods by which to permeabilize plasma membranes of cells. In particular, high pressure transient hydrodynamic flows created by laser-induced cavitation have been shown to lead to the uptake of ...

A Systematic Review of Continuum Modeling of Skeletal Muscles: Current Trends, Limitations, and Recommendations

open access: yesApplied Bionics and Biomechanics, 2018
Finite elasticity theory has been commonly used to model skeletal muscle. A very large range of heterogeneous constitutive laws has been proposed. In this review, the most widely used continuum models of skeletal muscles were synthetized and discussed ...

Chronobiology Meets Quantum Biology: A New Paradigm Overlooking the Horizon?

open access: yesFrontiers in Physiology, 2022
Biological processes and physiological functions in living beings are featured by oscillations with a period of about 24 h (circadian) or cycle at the second and third harmonic (ultradian) of the basic frequency, driven by the biological clock.
