Structural Reorganization of Parallel Actin Bundles by Crosslinking Proteins: Incommensurate States of Twist [PDF]
, 2010 We construct a coarse-grained model of parallel actin bundles crosslinked by compact, globular bundling proteins, such as fascin and espin, necessary components of filapodial and mechanosensory bundles. Consistent with structural observations of bundles,

FoodsVolatile active ingredients in biopolymer nanofibers are prone to burst and uncontrolled release. In this study, we used electrospinning and crosslinking to design a new sustained-release active packaging containing zein and eugenol (EU).

Crosslinking of fibrous hydrogels
Nature Communications, 2018 In contrast to most synthetic hydrogels, biological gels are made of fibrous networks. This architecture gives rise to unique properties, like low concentration, high porosity gels with a high mechanical responsiveness as a result of strain-stiffening ...

Cooperativity and Frustration in Protein-Mediated Parallel Actin Bundles
, 2009 We examine the mechanism of bundling of cytoskeletal actin filaments by two representative bundling proteins, fascin and espin. Small-angle X-ray studies show that increased binding from linkers drives a systematic \textit{overtwist} of actin filaments ...

Toric implantable collamer lens for keratoconus
Indian Journal of Ophthalmology, 2013 Keratoconus is a progressive non-inflammatory thinning of the cornea that induces myopia and irregular astigmatism and decreases the quality of vision due to monocular diplopia, halos, or ghost images.

Nonlinear Optical Corneal Crosslinking, Mechanical Stiffening, and Corneal Flattening Using Amplified Femtosecond Pulses. [PDF]
, 2019 Purpose:We have shown that nonlinear optical corneal crosslinking (NLO CXL) and stiffening can be achieved in ex vivo rabbit corneas using an 80-MHz, 760-nm femtosecond (FS) laser, however the required power was beyond the American National Standard ...

Glassy correlations and microstructures in randomly crosslinked homopolymer blends
, 2005 We consider a microscopic model of a polymer blend that is prone to phase separation. Permanent crosslinks are introduced between randomly chosen pairs of monomers, drawn from the Deam-Edwards distribution.
