The synchronization of coupled oscillators is a fascinating manifestation of self-organization
that nature uses to orchestrate essential processes of life, such as the beating of the heart. …

Emergence of SARS-CoV-2 causing COVID-19 has resulted in hundreds of thousands of
deaths. In search for key targets of effective therapeutics, robust animal models mimicking …

INTRODUCTION Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) covers and protects the brain from mechanical
injury. CSF also flows along an interconnected network of perivascular spaces surrounding …

Zymography is a technique for studying hydrolytic enzymes on the basis of substrate
degradation. It is a powerful, but often misinterpreted, tool yielding information on potential …

Spiral waves are ubiquitous in two-dimensional systems of chemical or biological oscillators
coupled locally by diffusion. At the center of such spirals is a phase singularity, a topological …

We analyze a large system of globally coupled phase oscillators whose natural frequencies
are bimodally distributed. The dynamics of this system has been the subject of long-standing …

We review theoretical and numerical models of the glymphatic system, which circulates
cerebrospinal fluid and interstitial fluid around the brain, facilitating solute transport. Models …

The size of an individual organism is a key trait to characterize its physiology and feeding
ecology. Size-based scaling laws may have a limited size range of validity or undergo a …

Many biological and neural systems can be seen as networks of interacting periodic processes.
Importantly, their functionality, ie, whether these networks can perform their function or …

Coupled phase oscillators model a variety of dynamical phenomena in nature and technological
applications. Non-local coupling gives rise to chimera states which are characterized by …
