Cell mechanics, environmental geometry, and cell polarity control cell-cell collision outcomes [PDF]
arXivInteractions between crawling cells, which are essential for many biological processes, can be quantified by measuring cell-cell collisions. Conventionally, experiments of cell-cell collisions are conducted on two-dimensional flat substrates, where colliding cells repolarize and move away upon contact with one another in "contact inhibition of ...

Autophagy in cancer and protein conformational disorders
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Autophagy plays a crucial role in numerous biological processes, including protein and organelle quality control, development, immunity, and metabolism. Hence, dysregulation or mutations in autophagy‐related genes have been implicated in a wide range of human diseases.

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.The protonated form of butyrate, as well as other short‐chain fatty acids (SCFAs), is membrane permeable. In acidic extracellular environments, this can lead to intracellular accumulation of SCFAs and cytosolic acidification. This phenomenon will be particularly relevant in acidic environments such as the large intestine or tumor microenvironments ...

Metal and Polymeric Strain Gauges for Si-Based, Monolithically Fabricated Organs-on-Chips
Micromachines, 2019 Organ-on-chip (OOC) is becoming the alternative tool to conventional in vitro screening. Heart-on-chip devices including microstructures for mechanical and electrical stimulation have been demonstrated to be advantageous to study structural organization ...

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

Deciphering Membrane Proteins Through Deep Learning Models by Revealing Their Locale Within the Cell
BioengineeringMembrane proteins constitute essential biomolecules attached to or integrated into cellular and organelle membranes, playing diverse roles in cellular processes. Their precise localization is crucial for understanding their functions.

Adhesion and volume constraints via nonlocal interactions lead to cell sorting [PDF]
arXiv, 2017 We demonstrate how concepts of statistical mechanics of interacting particles can have important implications in the choice of interaction potentials to model qualitative properties of cell aggregates in theoretical biology. We illustrate this by showing cell sorting phenomena for cell groups with different adhesiveness parameters: ranging from well ...
