Cellular Biophysics: Bacterial Endospore, Membranes and Random Fluctuation [PDF]
Current Biology, 2006 Purposeful motion of biological processes can be driven by Brownian motion of macromolecular complexes with one-sided binding biasing movement in one direction: a Brownian ratchet, now proposed to explain membrane motion during a phagocytosis-like process in bacteria.

Systems biology of cellular membranes: a convergence with biophysics
WIREs Systems Biology and Medicine, 2017 Systems biology and systems medicine have played an important role in the last two decades in shaping our understanding of biological processes. While systems biology is synonymous with network maps and ‘‐omics’ approaches, it is not often associated with mechanical processes.

Cryo-EM structure of the potassium-chloride cotransporter KCC4 in lipid nanodiscs. [PDF]
, 2020 Cation-chloride-cotransporters (CCCs) catalyze transport of Cl- with K+ and/or Na+across cellular membranes. CCCs play roles in cellular volume regulation, neural development and function, audition, regulation of blood pressure, and renal function.

FRET sensors reveal the retinal entry pathway in the G protein-coupled receptor rhodopsin
iScience, 2022 Summary: The photoreceptor rhodopsin (Rho) becomes active when a tethered inverse agonist ligand (11CR) is photoconverted to an agonist (ATR). The ligand-binding pocket of inactive rhodopsin is completely enclosed, whereas active rhodopsin displays pores

Biophysical Tools to Study Cellular Mechanotransduction [PDF]
Bioengineering, 2017 The cell membrane is the interface that volumetrically isolates cellular components from the cell’s environment. Proteins embedded within and on the membrane have varied biological functions: reception of external biochemical signals, as membrane channels, amplification and regulation of chemical signals through secondary messenger molecules ...

A perspective on cortical layering and layer-spanning neuronal elements [PDF]
, 2018 This review article addresses the function of the layers of the cerebral cortex. We develop the perspective that cortical layering needs to be understood in terms of its functional anatomy, i.e., the terminations of synaptic inputs on distinct cellular ...
