Bioelectricity plays an essential role in the structural and functional organization of biological
organisms. In this first article of our three-part series, we summarize the importance of …

This review gathers recent findings in biophysics that shed light on the biological principle of
self-organization, spanning from molecules to more complicated systems with higher …

In this article, we elucidate the roles of divalent ion condensation and highly polarized
immobile water molecules on the propagation of ionic calcium waves along actin filaments …

Cilia and flagella are cell organelles serving basic roles in cellular motility. Ciliary movement
is performed by a sweeping-like repeated bending motion, which gives rise to a self …

To adapt to changing environments cells must signal and signaling requires messengers
whose concentration varies with time in space. We here consider the messenger role of …

Filaments of the cellular protein actin can form bundles, which can conduct ionic currents as
well as mechanical and voltage solitons. These inherent properties can be utilized to …

One of the most challenging questions in cell and developmental biology is how molecular
signals are translated into mechanical forces that ultimately drive cell growth and motility …

The cytoskeleton of cilia and flagella is so called axoneme a stable cylindrical architecture of
nine microtubule doublets. Axoneme performs periodic bending motion by utilizing specific …

Calcium plays a key role in signal transduction in eukaryotic cells. Besides controlling local
functions of cells calcium ions are responsible for the generation of global signals such as …

Abstract Information delivery by cytoskeletal proteins have gained attention due to their
potentiality for being a contributor to processing information in the intracellular environment …
