Polymorphic self-assembly of helical tubules is kinetically controlled [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 In contrast to most self-assembling synthetic materials, which undergo unbounded growth, many biological self-assembly processes are self-limited. That is, the assembled structures have one or more finite dimensions that are much larger than the size scale of the individual monomers.

Interplay of packing and flip-flop in local bilayer deformation. How phosphatidylglycerol could rescue mitochondrial function in a cardiolipin-deficient yeast mutant [PDF]
Biophys. J. 107(4): 879-890 (2014), 2014 In a previous work, we have shown that a spatially localized transmembrane pH gradient, produced by acid micro-injection near the external side of cardiolipin-containing giant unilamellar vesicles, leads to the formation of tubules that retract after the dissipation of this gradient. These tubules have morphologies similar to mitochondrial cristae. The

Macroscopic equations for pattern formation in mixtures of microtubules and motors [PDF]
, 2001 Inspired by patterns observed in mixtures of microtubules and molecular motors, we propose continuum equations for the evolution of motor density, and microtubule orientation. The chief ingredients are the transport of motors along tubules, and the alignment of tubules in the process.

A biomimetic kidney tubule model [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 A critical barrier in the nephrology field is the lack of appropriate in vitro renal tubule models that allow manipulation of various mechanical factors, facilitating studies of disease pathophysiology and drug discovery. Here we report development of a novel in vitro assay system comprised of a renal tubule within an elasto-plastic extracellular ...

Journal of Dental Research, Dental Clinics, Dental Prospects, 2018 Background. This study compared the effect of smear layer on the penetration depth and push-out bond strength of various root canal sealers. Methods. A total of 90 extracted human mandibular premolars were assigned into 2 groups: smear layer preserved ...

Comparative Evaluation of Efficacy of Iontophoresis with 0.33% Sodium Fluoride Gel and Diode Laser Alone on Occlusion of Dentinal Tubules [PDF]
Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research, 2017 Introduction: Dentinal Hypersensitivity (DH) is one of the most commonly encountered clinical problems. Literature reveals no specific therapy to satisfactorily eliminate dentinal hypersensitivity. Aim: The aim of this study was to assess and compare
