The Detection of Nanoscale Membrane Bending with Polarized Localization Microscopy [PDF]
The curvature of biological membranes at the nanometer scale is critically important for vesicle trafficking, organelle morphology, and disease propagation. This manuscript reports the development of Polarized Localization Microscopy (PLM), a pointillist optical imaging technique for the detection of nanoscale membrane curvature in correlation with ...

Membrane-protein interactions hold the key to understanding amyloid formation [PDF]
In this perspective we describe the critical role membranes play in modulating the structures of the Amyloid Precursor Proteins to produce the peptides involved in the Alzheimer's disease. Some of the key concepts related to protein aggregation including the potential role of the excited states of monomers in initiating protein aggregation are ...

The Lorentz Force on Ions in Membrane Channels of Neurons as a Mechanism for Transcranial Static Magnetic Stimulation [PDF]
Transcranial static magnetic stimulation is a novel noninvasive method of reduction of the cortical excitability in certain neurological diseases that, unlike ordinary transcranial magnetic stimulation, makes use of static magnetic fields generated by permanent magnets.

The Prognostic Significance of Tumoral Melanosis
ABSTRACT Background Tumoral melanosis (TM) is a histological term to describe a nodular aggregation of macrophages containing melanin pigment (melanophages) that is devoid of viable melanocytes. It is most often identified in skin, where it may be appreciated clinically as a pigmented lesion; however, it can also be found in other organs such as lymph ...
