Generic long-range interactions between passive bodies in an active fluid [PDF]

Phys. Rev. Lett. 120, 058002 (2018), 2017
Because active particles break time-reversal symmetry, a single non-spherical body placed in an active fluid generates currents. We show that when two or more passive bodies are placed in an active fluid these currents lead to long-range interactions.

A fluid-to-solid jamming transition underlies vertebrate body axis elongation

Nature, 2018
Just as in clay moulding or glass blowing, physically sculpting biological structures requires the constituent material to locally flow like a fluid while maintaining overall mechanical integrity like a solid.

Interaction vesicles as emerging mediators of host‐pathogen molecular crosstalk and their implications for infection dynamics

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Interaction extracellular vesicles (iEVs) are hybrid vesicles formed through host‐pathogen communication. They facilitate immune evasion, transfer pathogens' molecules, increase host cell uptake, and enhance virulence. This Perspective article illustrates the multifunctional roles of iEVs and highlights their emerging relevance in infection dynamics ...

Utility of Thyroid Transcription Factor-1 Expression in the Differential Diagnosis of Metastatic Adenocarcinoma of Serous Effusion Specimens Prepared Using the Cell Transfer Technique

Journal of the Formosan Medical Association, 2006
Pulmonary adenocarcinoma is a common malignancy of the pleural cavity. The cell transfer technique can be used to create multiple slides from a single smear.

Finite-displacement elastic solution due to a triple contact line [PDF]

arXiv, 2023
At the line of triple contact of an elastic body with two immiscible fluids, the body is subjected to a force concentrated on this line, the fluid-fluid surface tension. In the simple case of a semi-infinite body, limited by a plane, a straight contact line on this plane, and a fluid-fluid surface tension normal to the plane, the classical elastic ...

Blood, sweat, and tears: developing clinically relevant protein biosensors for integrated body fluid analysis.

In Analysis, 2015
Biosensors are being developed to provide rapid, quantitative, diagnostic information to clinicians in order to help guide patient treatment, without the need for centralised laboratory assays.

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

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 ...

Alpha 7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptors signaling boosts cell-cell interactions in macrophages effecting anti-inflammatory and organ protection

Communications Biology, 2023
Activation of the cholinergic anti-inflammatory pathway (CAP) via vagus nerve stimulation has been shown to improve acute kidney injury in rodent models.

A small solid body with large density in a planar fluid is negligible [PDF]

, 2018
In this article, we consider a small rigid body moving in a viscous fluid filling the whole plane. We assume that the diameter of the rigid body goes to 0, that the initial velocity has bounded energy and that the density of the rigid body goes to infinity.

P‐glycoprotein modulates the fluidity gradient of the plasma membrane of multidrug resistant CHO cells

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
To explore the impact of the overexpression of the multidrug‐transporter P‐glycoprotein (ABCB1) on membrane fluidity, we compared the transversal gradient of mobility and microviscosity in plasma membranes of drug‐sensitive Chinese hamster ovary cells (AuxB1) and their multidrug‐resistant derivatives (B30) using the fluorescent n‐(9‐anthroyloxy) fatty ...
