Connecting gene and hormone action to form, pattern and organogenesis: biophysical transductions

Journal of Experimental Botany, 1994
Abstract Morphological effects of mutations and hormones in shoots and flowers are common. Hence the causal chain between genome and phenotype must contain biophysical steps which link soluble control compounds to the production of specific solid tissue configuration.

A Biophysical Analysis of Mechano-electrical Transduction

1971
This treatise is an attempt to approach some basic problems of biological excitability in terms of nonlinear oscillation theory applied to membrane systems where there is a coupling between electrical and mechanical forces. The basic concept assumes that the excitable membrane contains fixed charges, i.e., ionic membranes of ion-exchange character ...

The Amplifying Transduction Cascade Triggered by Rhodopsin in Visual Receptor Cells Biochemical and Biophysical Approaches

1987
After a long rivalry with Hagins’ “calcium hypothesis” cyclic GMP is now solidly established as the cytoplasmic transmitter of the visual excitation process in the vertebrate photoreceptor1,2: in these cells cGMP directly controls the conductance of the Na+ channels in the plasma membrane; in this respect, the visual transduction process differs from ...

Biophysical Modeling of Synaptic Plasticity.

Annual Review of Biophysics
Dendritic spines are small, bulbous compartments that function as postsynaptic sites and undergo intense biochemical and biophysical activity. The role of the myriad signaling pathways that are implicated in synaptic plasticity is well studied.

The Function of Membrane Glycerolipid Fatty Acyl Unsaturation in Signal Transduction and Cell Cycle Control: A Biophysical Approach

1989
When describing the movement of suspended molecules of submicroscopic size in liquids, Einstein [1] has stated that classical thermodynamics cannot be looked upon as applicable with precision. Such molecules include amphiphilic membrane glycerolipids. Visual observation of the above mentioned submicroscopic particles was originally made by the botanist

Biophysical mechanisms of membrane perturbation and signal transduction produced by proteins and peptides

2015
My primary research interest is focused on the field of cellular electrical activity, ranging from the ion channels that generates it, up to the study of intracellular processes regulating it, and new generation of drugs. For this purpose, during my Ph.D. I have learnt and improved different cutting-edge techniques, i.e.

The peripheral hearing mechanism: new biophysical concepts for transduction of the acoustic signal to an electrochemical event.

Physiological chemistry and physics, 1978
A theory of peripheral function in hearing is proposed. It accounts for temporal discrimination among simultaneously received wave and pulse signals, cochlear analysis of acoustic input, and transduction of acoustic energy into biochemical energy by means of resonance and ion-shuttling involving the tectorial membrane and hair-cell complex.
