Chirality in Optical Trapping and Optical Binding
Photonics, 2015 Optical trapping is a well-established technique that is increasingly used on biological substances and nanostructures. Chirality, the property of objects that differ from their mirror image, is also of significance in such fields, and a subject of much ...

A stepwise emergence of evolution in the RNA world
FEBS 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

RADON DENSITY PROFILES IN ALVEOLAR PORES: AN INTEGRAL EQUATION FORMALISM APPLICATION
Anales (Asociación Física Argentina), 2023 In this work, we obtained density profiles of Radon particles near the alveolar wall surface by the development of a theoretical model that describes the interaction between such particles and the alveolar wall cells.

FEBS 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 ...
