The cytoskeletal control of B cell receptor and integrin signaling in normal B cells and chronic lymphocytic leukemia

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
In lymphoid organs, antigen recognition and B cell receptor signaling rely on integrins and the cytoskeleton. Integrins act as mechanoreceptors, couple B cell receptor activation to cytoskeletal remodeling, and support immune synapse formation as well as antigen extraction.

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 ...

Multi-agent systems for collective management of a northern Thailand watershed : model abstraction and design [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
Scarce farmland and water resources in the highland watersheds of northern Thailand coupled with multiple users and desires have led to conflicts among stakeholders who play important roles in the system dynamics.

Characterization of Sensory-Motor Behavior Under Cognitive Load Using a New Statistical Platform for Studies of Embodied Cognition

open access: yesFrontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2018
The field of enacted/embodied cognition has emerged as a contemporary attempt to connect the mind and body in the study of cognition. However, there has been a paucity of methods that enable a multi-layered approach tapping into different levels of ...

A stepwise emergence of evolution in the RNA world

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
How did biological evolution emerge from chemical reactions? This perspective proposes a gradual scenario of self‐organization among RNA molecules, where catalytic feedback on random mixtures plays the central role. Short oligomers cross‐ligate, and self‐assembly enables heritable variations. An event of template‐externalization marks the transition to

Organic materials and devices for brain-inspired computing: From artificial implementation to biophysical realism

open access: yesMRS bulletin, 2020
Many of the current artificial intelligence (AI) applications that are rapidly becoming indispensable in our society rely on software-based artificial neural networks or deep learning algorithms that are powerful, but energy-inefficient.

Comparing parameter-reduction methods on a biophysical model of an auditory hair cell

open access: yesPhysical Review Research
Biophysical models describing complex cellular phenomena typically include systems of nonlinear differential equations with many free parameters. While experimental measurements can fix some parameters, those describing internal cellular processes ...

B cell mechanobiology in health and disease: emerging techniques and insights into therapeutic responses

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
B cells sense external mechanical forces and convert them into biochemical signals through mechanotransduction. Understanding how malignant B cells respond to physical stimuli represents a groundbreaking area of research. This review examines the key mechano‐related molecules and pathways in B lymphocytes, highlights the most relevant techniques to ...

Biofilm and swarming emergent behaviours controlled through the aid of biophysical understanding and tools

open access: yesBiochemical Society Transactions, 2020
Bacteria can organise themselves into communities in the forms of biofilms and swarms. Through chemical and physical interactions between cells, these communities exhibit emergent properties that individual cells alone do not have.
