Plausibility of Quantum Coherent States in Biological Systems

, 2010
In this paper we briefly discuss the necessity of using quantum mechanics as a fundamental theory applicable to some key functional aspects of biological systems. This is especially relevant to three important parts of a neuron in the human brain, namely

The MO25 protein Pmo25 functions in contractile ring stability and Sid2 localization during cytokinesis

iScience
Summary: Mouse protein-25 (MO25) family proteins are crucial in development and morphogenesis from plants to humans. The fission yeast MO25 protein Pmo25 is essential for cell polarity and division.

Spatiotemporal dynamics of NF-κB/Dorsal inhibitor IκBα/Cactus in Drosophila blastoderm embryos

iScience
Summary: The NF-κB/IκBα pathway regulates key cellular processes, including development, immunity, and inflammation. In Drosophila, the homologous Dorsal/Cactus system patterns the dorsoventral axis of the blastoderm embryo.

Vaccine strategy when the smallpox model fails: 1. immune cognition, Malaria and the Fulani [PDF]

, 2001
We begin to examine the implications of IR Cohen's work on immune cognition [1-3] for vaccine strategies when simple elicitation of sterilizing immunity fails, as is the case for HIV, tuberculosis, and malaria.

Cab45G trafficking through the insulin secretory pathway is altered in human type 2 diabetes

iScience
Summary: In type 2 diabetes (T2D), the rate of insulin secretory granule biogenesis can limit insulin secretion from pancreatic β-cells. Using rat insulinoma INS1 β-cells, we show that the soluble Ca2+-binding/trafficking protein, Cab45G, serves as a non-

Human Intestinal Morphogenesis Controlled by Transepithelial Morphogen Gradient and Flow-Dependent Physical Cues in a Microengineered Gut-on-a-Chip

iScience, 2019
Summary: We leveraged a human gut-on-a-chip (Gut Chip) microdevice that enables independent control of fluid flow and mechanical deformations to explore how physical cues and morphogen gradients influence intestinal morphogenesis.
