We present some clues to the study of the renormalization group, at graduate level, as well as some bibliographical pointers to classical resources. Just the kind of things one had liked to hear when starting to study the subject.
The study of the interactions of living adherent cells with mechanically stable (visco)elastic materials enables understanding and exploiting physiological phenomena mediated by cell-extracellular communication. However, insight on the…
This review article provides a specific example of recombinant cell and protocell technology, moving from what is presently known to suggesting how novel application of existing methodologies could be utilized to design a complex synthetic…
Background: A subset of histo-blood group antigens including ABO and Lewis are oligosaccharide structures which may be conjugated to lipids or proteins. They are known to be important recognition motifs not only in the context of blood…
We present the first search for galaxy counterparts of intervening high-z (2<z< 3.6) sub-DLAs and DLAs towards GRBs. Our final sample comprises of five intervening sub-DLAs and DLAs in four GRB fields. To identify candidate galaxy…
Cell motility is one of the most fundamental phenomena underlying biological processes that maintain living organisms alive. Here we introduce a simple model to describe the motility of cells which include not only time-correlated internal…
This is an introduction to rings and fields, written for a quarter-long undergraduate course. It includes the basic properties of ideals, modules, algebras and polynomials, the constructions of ring extensions and finite fields, some…
Living creatures exhibit a remarkable diversity of locomotion mechanisms, evolving structures specialised for interacting with their environment. In the vast majority of cases, locomotor behaviours such as flying, crawling, and running, are…
It is important to understand the coordinated performance of cells in tissue. One possible mechanism in this coordination involves intracellular calcium signaling. The topology of intercellular connections in tissue should also play an…
Cell migration is a fundamental process for life and is highly dependent on the dynamical and mechanical properties of the cytoskeleton. Intensive physical and biochemical crosstalk between actin, microtubules, and intermediate filaments…
Recent years have witnessed an increasing interest in neuron-glia communication. This interest stems from the realization that glia participates in cognitive functions and information processing and is involved in many brain disorders and…
An elementary introduction to perturbative renormalization and renormalization group is presented. No prior knowledge of field theory is necessary because we do not refer to a particular physical theory. We are thus able to disentangle what…
Cluster analysis methods are used to identify homogeneous subgroups in a data set. In biomedical applications, one frequently applies cluster analysis in order to identify biologically interesting subgroups. In particular, one may wish to…
While mechanobiology has demonstrated that precise control over mechanical properties at the whole-cell level is crucial for many biological functions, comparatively little attention has been paid to the intracellular mechanical properties.…
We introduce new generalizations of the Gamma and the Beta functions. Their properties are investigated and known results are obtained as particular cases.
Cell types are at the root of modern biology, and describing them is a core task of the Human Cell Atlas project. Surprisingly, there are no standards for reporting new cell types, leading to a gap between classes mentioned in biomedical…
Bioelectrical interfaces represent a significant evolution in the intersection of nanotechnology and biophysics, offering new strategies for probing and influencing cellular processes. These systems capitalize on the subtle but powerful…
This review concentrates almost entirely on globular star clusters. It emphasises the increasing realisation that few of the traditional problems of star cluster astronomy can be studied in isolation: the influence of the Galaxy affects…
These notes discuss in an informal manner the construction and some properties of 1- and 2-gerbes. They are mainly based on the author's previous work in this area, which is reviewed here, and to some extent improved upon. The main emphasis…
The main purpose of these lectures is to give a pedagogical overview on the possibility to classify and relate off-shell linear supermultiplets in the context of supersymmetric mechanics. A special emphasis is given to a recent graphical…
