High-Resolution Plasma Membrane-Selective Imaging by Second Harmonic Generation
iScience, 2018 Summary: The plasma membrane is the site of intercellular communication and subsequent intracellular signal transduction. The specific visualization of the plasma membrane in living cells, however, is difficult using fluorescence-based techniques owing ...

Impact of an electric field on P-type ATPases [PDF]
, 2008 P-type ATPases are membrane proteins acting as ion pumps that drive an active transport of cations across the membrane against a concentration gradient. The required energy for the ion transport is provided by binding and hydrolysis of ATP.

Mechano-transduction: from molecules to tissues. [PDF]
, 2014 External forces play complex roles in cell organization, fate, and homeostasis. Changes in these forces, or how cells respond to them, can result in abnormal embryonic development and diseases in adults.

Energy-based Analysis of Biochemical Cycles using Bond Graphs [PDF]
, 2014 Thermodynamic aspects of chemical reactions have a long history in the Physical Chemistry literature. In particular, biochemical cycles - the building-blocks of biochemical systems - require a source of energy to function.

The case for absolute ligand discrimination : modeling information processing and decision by immune T cells [PDF]
, 2015 Some cells have to take decision based on the quality of surroundings ligands, almost irrespective of their quantity, a problem we name "absolute discrimination". An example of absolute discrimination is recognition of not-self by immune T Cells. We show
