Universality of critically pinned interfaces in 2-dimensional isotropic random media

open access: yes, 2017
Based on extensive simulations, we conjecture that critically pinned interfaces in 2-dimensional isotropic random media with short range correlations are always in the universality class of ordinary percolation.

Reciprocal control of viral infection and phosphoinositide dynamics

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Phosphoinositides, although scarce, regulate key cellular processes, including membrane dynamics and signaling. Viruses exploit these lipids to support their entry, replication, assembly, and egress. The central role of phosphoinositides in infection highlights phosphoinositide metabolism as a promising antiviral target.

High-Throughput Analysis of 3D Cell Culture Oxygen Consumption Using Sensor Arrays: A Novel Platform for Hypoxia/Normoxia Research

open access: yesOrganoids
Precise control and measurement of the cellular microenvironment, particularly oxygen concentration, are crucial for developing physiologically relevant in vitro models.

Augmenting aesthetic chills using a wearable prosthesis improves their downstream effects on reward and social cognition

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2020
Previous studies on aesthetic chills (i.e., psychogenic shivers) demonstrate their positive effects on stress, pleasure, and social cognition. We tested whether we could artificially enhance this emotion and its downstream effects by intervening on its ...

Evaluating advanced search interfaces using established information-seeking model

open access: yes, 2009
When users have poorly defined or complex goals search interfaces offering only keyword searching facilities provide inadequate support to help them reach their information-seeking objectives.

Interfaces Within Graphene Nanoribbons [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
We study the conductance through two types of graphene nanostructures: nanoribbon junctions in which the width changes from wide to narrow, and curved nanoribbons.

In situ molecular organization and heterogeneity of the Legionella Dot/Icm T4SS

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We present a nearly complete in situ model of the Legionella Dot/Icm type IV secretion system, revealing its central secretion channel and identifying new components. Using cryo‐electron tomography with AI‐based modeling, our work highlights the structure, variability, and mechanism of this complex nanomachine, advancing understanding of bacterial ...

Helices at Interfaces

open access: yes, 2012
Helically coiled filaments are a frequent motif in nature. In situations commonly encountered in experiments coiled helices are squeezed flat onto two dimensional surfaces.

Characterization of soft stripe-domain deformations in Sm-C and Sm-C* liquid-crystal elastomers [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
The neoclassical model of Sm-C (and Sm-C*) elastomers developed by Warner and Adams predicts a class of “soft” (zero energy) deformations. We find and describe the full set of stripe domains—laminate structures in which the laminates alternate between ...

Structural instability impairs function of the UDP‐xylose synthase 1 Ile181Asn variant associated with short‐stature genetic syndrome in humans

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The Ile181Asn variant of human UDP‐xylose synthase (hUXS1), associated with a short‐stature genetic syndrome, has previously been reported as inactive. Our findings demonstrate that Ile181Asn‐hUXS1 retains catalytic activity similar to the wild‐type but exhibits reduced stability, a looser oligomeric state, and an increased tendency to precipitate ...
