Frailty is a multiply determined, age-related state of increased risk for adverse health outcomes.
We review how the degree of frailty conditions the development of late-life diseases and …

We examine the classical antiferromagnet on the Kagomé lattice with nearest-neighbor
interactions and n-component vector spins. Each case n= 1, 2, 3 and n> 3 has its own special …

Having made substantial progress understanding molecules, cells, genes and pathways,
aging biology research is now moving toward integration of these parts, attempting to …

Positioning of the midcell division plane within the bacterium E. coli is controlled by the min
system of proteins: MinC, MinD, and MinE. These proteins coherently oscillate from end to …

We examine the role of microtopographical surface features on sulfide minerals in localizing
and aligning bacterial adhesion. Experimental data shows strong correlation between …

We present Cahn-Hilliard and Allen-Cahn numerical integration algorithms that are unconditionally
stable and so provide significantly faster accuracy-controlled simulation. Our stability …

Poly(l-lysine) (PLL) is a cationic polymer that is often used for attaching and immobilizing cells
to glass substrates for further investigation by, eg, AFM techniques. Because of their small …

To explore the mechanistic relationships between aging, frailty and mortality, we developed
a computational model in which possible health attributes are represented by the nodes of a …

We examine fluctuation effects due to the low copy number of proteins involved in pattern-forming
dynamics within a bacterium. We focus on a stochastic model of the oscillating …

The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is required for the de novo biogenesis of peroxisomes in
mammalian cells. However, its role in peroxisome maintenance is unclear. To explore ER …
