Motile eukaryotic cells polarize in response to external signals. Numerous mechanisms
have been suggested to account for this symmetry breaking and for the ensuing robust …

Ionic electrodiffusion and osmotic water flow are central processes in many physiological
systems. We formulate a system of partial differential equations that governs ion movement and …

We present a three-dimensional model of cellular electrical activity. This model takes into
account the three dimensional geometry of biological tissue as well as ionic concentration …

Prognosis of patients with undifferentiated gastric cancer is generally poor. The expression
of various microRNAs (miRNAs) has not been comprehensively investigated in …

The immersed boundary method is a computational framework for problems involving the
interaction of a fluid and immersed elastic structures. Immersed boundary computations …

We study cardiac action potential propagation under severe reduction in gap junction
conductance. We use a mathematical model of cellular electrical activity that takes into account …

We describe and analyze a bistable reaction-diffusion model for two interconverting chemical
species that exhibits a phenomenon of wave-pinning: a wave of activation of one of the …

Caveolin-1 (CAV1) and caveolin-2 (CAV2) are the major structural proteins of caveolae. We
investigated the relationship between the clinicopathological factors of esophageal …

All mammalian cells live in the aqueous medium, yet for many cell biologists, water is a
passive arena in which proteins are the leading players that carry out essential biological …

Human societies include diverse social relationships. Friends, family, business colleagues
and online contacts can all contribute to one’s social life. Individuals may behave differently in …
