Dynamics of membranes driven by actin polymerization [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
A motile cell, when stimulated, shows a dramatic increase in the activity of its membrane, manifested by the appearance of dynamic membrane structures such as lamellipodia, filopodia and membrane ruffles. The external stimulus turns on membrane bound activators, like Cdc42 and PIP2, which cause increased branching and polymerization of the actin ...

Transport of particles through RO membrane in steady state condition [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2023
Reverse Osmosis(RO) membranes are widespread nowadays for separating the solvent from a solution. RO membranes are made of polymer matrix. Experiments show changes in relative interaction of solvent and solute with RO membrane matrix lead to changes in solvent permeation, solute rejection and fouling.

Eyes Offshore: Reporting the Eye Health Needs of Refugees and Asylum Seekers in Australia's Offshore Detention Centres

open access: yesClinical &Experimental Ophthalmology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background In the last two decades, over 250 000 refugees and asylum seekers have arrived in Australia, many of whom experience significant health problems. Information about their eye health is scarce, particularly for those detained offshore. This is the first study to explore the eye health and services available to this population, helping

Ibudilast Protects Retinal Bipolar Cells From Excitotoxic Retinal Damage and Activates the mTOR Pathway

open access: yesGlia, Volume 73, Issue 5, Page 905-927, May 2025.
Main Points Ibudilast, a MIF and PDE inhibitor, preserves the form and function of the retina, especially bipolar cells, during excitotoxic damage. Ibudilast upregulates multiple signaling pathways, including mTOR, in damaged Müller glia and bipolar cells.

Laser driven miniature diamond implant for wireless retinal prostheses [PDF]

open access: yesAdvanced Biosystems 4.11 (2020): 2000055
The design and benchtop operation of a wireless miniature epiretinal stimulator implant is reported. The implant is optically powered and controlled using safe illumination at near-infrared wavelengths. An application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) hosting a digital control unit is used to control the implant's electrodes. The ASIC is powered using

Vitrectomy in Small idiopathic MAcuLar hoLe (SMALL) study: Internal limiting membrane peeling versus no peeling

open access: yesActa Ophthalmologica, Volume 103, Issue 3, Page e156-e164, May 2025.
Abstract Purpose To compare vitrectomy with and without internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling in small idiopathic macular holes. Methods Retrospective multicentre study including consecutive eyes with ≤250 μm idiopathic macular hole treated with vitrectomy. The primary outcome was hole closure rate.

On Dielectric Membranes [PDF]

open access: yesJHEP 0905:047,2009, 2009
By placing a collection of membranes in 11 dimensional background supergravity six form field and considering the non-linear action of multiple membranes we obtain the potential for transverse scalar fields of membranes and study some possible vacuum configurations.

The quality, accuracy and appropriateness of UK optometric age‐related macular degeneration referrals

open access: yesOphthalmic and Physiological Optics, Volume 45, Issue 3, Page 799-809, May 2025.
Abstract Purpose Little is known about the quality of optometrists' referrals to secondary care for neovascular age‐related macular degeneration (nAMD), despite the need for timely intervention. We analysed the content and accuracy of optometrists' referrals for nAMD.

Nitrogen‐Doped Ultrananocrystalline Diamond – Optoelectronic Biointerface for Wireless Neuronal Stimulation

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, Volume 14, Issue 9, April 4, 2025.
Researchers demonstrate a diamond‐based, wireless biointerface capable of generating safe capacitive current under pulsed light illumination in the visible and near‐infrared light region. This biointerface is long‐lasting and the first among diamond‐based electrodes capable of optically‐controlled, non‐genetic modulation of intracellular calcium ...
