Systems Biophysics of Gene Expression [PDF]
Biophys. J. 104, 2574-2585 (2013), 2013 Gene expression is a central process to any form of life. It involves multiple temporal and functional scales that extend from specific protein-DNA interactions to the coordinated regulation of multiple genes in response to intracellular and extracellular changes.

The African Biophysics Landscape: A Provisional Status Report [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 This is a provisional status report of biophysics activities in Africa. We start by highlighting the importance of biophysics research and development for every country's economy in the 21st century. Yet, the amount of biophysics activity in African countries varies between woefully little to nothing at all. We present a scope of biophysics research on

Black Holes and Biophysical (Mem)-branes [PDF]
Phys. Rev. D 90, 124022 (2014), 2014 We argue that the effective theory describing the long-wavelength dynamics of black branes is the same effective theory that describes the dynamics of biophysical membranes. We improve the phase structure of higher-dimensional black rings by considering finite thickness corrections in this effective theory, showing a striking agreement between our ...

Developing Parameter-Reduction Methods on a Biophysical Model of Auditory Hair Cells [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 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 frequently remain inaccessible.

Biophysics software for interdisciplinary education and research [PDF]
, 2013 Biophysics is a subject that is spread over many disciplines and transcends the skills and knowledge of the individual student. This makes it challenging both to teach and to learn. Educational materials are described to aid in teaching undergraduates biophysics in an interdisciplinary manner.

Integrated Biophysical Modeling and Image Analysis: Application to Neuro-Oncology [PDF]
Annual Review of Biomedical Engineering, Vol. 22, 2020, pp.
309-341, 2020 Central nervous system (CNS) tumors come with the vastly heterogeneous histologic, molecular and radiographic landscape, rendering their precise characterization challenging. The rapidly growing fields of biophysical modeling and radiomics have shown promise in better characterizing the molecular, spatial, and temporal heterogeneity of tumors ...

The Sixth Law of Stupidity: A Biophysical Interpretation of Carlo Cipolla's Stupidity Laws [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 Carlo Cipolla's stupidity quadrant and his five laws of stupidity were proposed for the first time in 1976. Exposed in a humorous mood by the author, these concepts nevertheless describe very serious features of the interactions among human beings. Here, we propose a new interpretation of Cipolla's ideas in a biophysical framework, using the well-known

From multiscale biophysics to digital twins of tissues and organs: future opportunities for in silico pharmacology [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 With many advancements in in silico biology in recent years, the paramount challenge is to translate the accumulated knowledge into exciting industry partnerships and clinical applications. Achieving models that characterize the link of molecular interactions to the activity and structure of a whole organ are termed multiscale biophysics. Historically,
