Coordinated interaction of single cells by cell-to-cell communication (signalling) enables
complex behaviour necessary for the functioning of multicellular organisms. A quite newly …

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 …

Depletion interactions are thought to significantly contribute to the organization of
intracellular structures in the crowded cytosol. The strength of depletion interactions …

Abstract Calcium ions (Ca 2+) tune and control numerous diverse aspects of cochlear and
vestibular physiological processes. This paper is focused on the Ca 2+ control of …

The actin cytoskeleton is a semiflexible biopolymer network whose morphology is controlled
by a wide range of biochemical and physical factors. Actin is known to undergo a phase …

Microtubules are the major part of the cytoskeleton. They are involved in nuclear and cell
division and serve as a network for motor proteins. The first model that describes nonlinear …

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

This proceedings paper contains a review of the work presented in the Sectional Lecture in
Solids on August 25 at ICTAM 2016.--Proteins are long polypeptide chains of amino acids …

Hair cells are thought to be passive transduction systems able to convert a mechanical pulse
in an electrical signal. In this paper, we have investigated the polyelectrolyte properties of …
