Mucus Physically Restricts Influenza A Viral Particle Access to the Epithelium
Advanced Biology, EarlyView.The infectious potential of respiratory viruses depends on their ability to navigate through a layer of mucus that serves as a protective barrier in the lung. It is demonstrated that influenza A virus penetration through mucus is significantly limited by the gel's internal microstructure and, to a lesser extent, by adhesive binding to mucin glycans ...

Drop morphologies on flexible fibers: influence of elastocapillary effects [PDF]
arXiv, 2016 Various materials are made of long thin fibers that are randomly oriented to form a complex network in which drops of wetting liquid tend to accumulate at the nodes. The capillary force exerted by the liquid can bend flexible fibers, which in turn influences the morphology adopted by the liquid.

Advanced Biology, EarlyView.Coacervation driven by liquid‐liquid phase separation (LLPS) of biopolymers has garnered increasing attention in biology since this leads to the formation of membraneless organelles capable of performing essential yet largely unknown functions. This review highlights recent advances in coacervates (artificial condensates) composed of low‐molecular ...

Fiber Strong Shape Theory for Topological Spaces [PDF]
, 2017 In the paper we construct and develop a fiber strong shape theory for arbitrary spaces over fixed metrizable space $\Bo$. Our approach is based on the method of Marde\v{s}i\'{c}-Lisica and instead of resolutions, introduced by Marde\v{s}i\'{c}, their ...

A new bound on the number of special fibers in a pencil of curves [PDF]
arXiv, 2008 In the previous paper by Pereira and the author, it was proved that any pencil of plane curves of degree greater than one with irreducible generic fiber can have at most five completely reducible fibers although no examples with five such fibers were ever found.

RhoA and Rac1 as Mechanotransduction Mediators in Colorectal Cancer
Advanced Biology, EarlyView.Analysing RhoA and Rac1 protein levels in Colorectal cancer (CRC) samples under mechanical strain highlights their potential as diagnostic markers. Monitoring their activity could offer valuable insights into how cancer spreads, paving the way for new approaches to better understand and diagnose colorectal cancer.

Coherent perfect absorption in a weakly absorbing fiber [PDF]
arXiv, 2017 Short-length fiber lasers are key elements for device integration in fiber systems. However, efficiently absorbing a pump beam in a short ion-doped fiber remains a challenge. We present an approach that renders a weakly absorbing short-length Er-doped fiber completely absorbing.
