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.

A composite visualization method for electrophysiology-morphous merging of human heart

open access: yesBioMedical Engineering OnLine, 2017
Background Electrophysiological behavior is of great importance for analyzing the cardiac functional mechanism under cardiac physiological and pathological condition. Due to the complexity of cardiac structure and biophysiological function, visualization

Role of Cell Surface Hydrophobicity in the Pathogenesis of Medically-Significant Fungi

open access: yesFrontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2021
Cell surface hydrophobicity (CSH) is an important cellular biophysical parameter which affects both cell-cell and cell-surface interactions. In dimorphic fungi, multiple factors including the temperature-induced shift between mold and yeast forms have ...

Electroencephalography: basic biophysical and technological aspects important for clinical applications.

open access: yesEpileptic disorders, 2020
Electroencephalography (EEG) is the most commonly used functional investigative method in epilepsy. The goal of this educational review paper is to summarize the most important aspects related to the biophysical phenomena of EEG signal generation and the

The effect of biochemical changes upon certain biophysical phenomena of nerve activity: the functional significance of the connective tissue sheath of the peripheral nerve trunk

open access: closed, 1953
It has been known for a long time that the peri pheral nerves in vertebrates consist of an aggregati of nervous tissue, the nervous elements, or nerve fibres, bound together by "indifferent" connective tissue, This binding tissue resembles connective tissue found in all parts of the body, and it might be supposed by analogy that its sole function is ...

Abortive and propagating intracellular calcium waves: analysis from a hybrid model. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2015
The functional properties of inositol(1,4,5)-triphosphate (IP3) receptors allow a variety of intracellular Ca(2+) phenomena. In this way, global phenomena, such as propagating and abortive Ca(2+) waves, as well as local events such as puffs, have been ...

The Whole is Greater Than the Sum of Its Parts: Large-scale Phenomena Arising from Small-scale Biophysical Processes

open access: yesIntegrative And Comparative Biology, 2023
Synopsis The symposium “Large-scale biological phenomena arising from small-scale biophysical processes” at the SICB 2023 Annual General Meeting focused on the cross-disciplinary exploration of emergent phenomena in biology. Interactions between cells or organisms at small scales within a system can govern patterns occurring at larger ...
