A manometric feature descriptor with linear-SVM to distinguish esophageal contraction vigor [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 n clinical, if a patient presents with nonmechanical obstructive dysphagia, esophageal chest pain, and gastro esophageal reflux symptoms, the physician will usually assess the esophageal dynamic function. High-resolution manometry (HRM) is a clinically commonly used technique for detection of esophageal dynamic function comprehensively and objectively.

Cell Division and Motility Enable Hexatic Order in Biological Tissues [PDF]
Phys. Rev. Lett. 2024, 2023 Biological tissues transform between solid-like and liquid-like states in many fundamental physiological events. Recent experimental observations further suggest that in two-dimensional epithelial tissues these solid-liquid transformations can happen via intermediate states akin to the intermediate hexatic phases observed in equilibrium two-dimensional

Substrate disorder promotes cell motility in confluent tissues [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 In vivo and in vitro cells rely on the support of an underlying biocompatible substrate, such as the extracellular matrix or a culture substrate, to spread and proliferate. The mechanical and chemical properties of such structures play a central role in the dynamical and statistical properties of the tissue.

Bacterial hopping and trapping in porous media [PDF]
Nature Communications 10, 2075 (2019), 2019 Diverse processes--e.g. bioremediation, biofertilization, and microbial drug delivery--rely on bacterial migration in disordered, three-dimensional (3D) porous media. However, how pore-scale confinement alters bacterial motility is unknown due to the opacity of typical 3D media.

Alpha‐synuclein RT‐QuIC assay in gastroduodenal and skin biopsies of Parkinson disease patients
Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, Volume 12, Issue 3, Page 637-642, March 2025.Abstract In this study, we compared the value of pathological alpha‐synuclein (αSyn) seed amplification assay (SAA) in gastric and duodenal biopsies with skin biopsies in Parkinson disease (PD) patients with different disease duration. The accuracy of αSyn SAA was 87.7% in skin, 67.4% in duodenum, and 80.0% in gastric biopsies, with significantly ...

Confinement and activity regulate bacterial motion in porous media [PDF]
Soft Matter, 15, 9920 (2019), 2019 Understanding how bacteria move in porous media is critical to applications in healthcare, agriculture, environmental remediation, and chemical sensing. Recent work has demonstrated that E. coli, which moves by run-and-tumble dynamics in a homogeneous medium, exhibits a new form of motility when confined in a disordered porous medium: hopping-and ...

The Regulation of Trace Metal Elements in Cancer Ferroptosis
Advanced Biology, EarlyView.The induction of ferroptosis inhibits tumor growth, enhances anticancer efficacy, and overcomes drug resistance. Recent evidence shows nonferrous metal elements play a role in ferroptosis. This review focuses on how trace metals regulate ferroptosis processes like iron accumulation, lipid peroxidation, and antioxidant defense.
