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.

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]
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.

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
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

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

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.
