The established action potential propagation mechanisms do not satisfactorily explain propagation on myelinated axons given the current knowledge of biological channels and membranes. The flow across ion channels presents ...

Tuberculosis is still one of the most important infectious diseases worldwide, killing over 1.5 million people each year. It is estimated that one third of world population has already been infected by Mycobacterium ...

Brain imaging is a vanguard and promising topic with uncountable applications in several fields. This project is driven by the development of a new brain imaging technique that could provide activity information with spatial ...

The migration of leukocytes from the blood stream to sites of injury and infection in the extravascular tissues is fundamental for the immune response. Two of the main receptors mediating this process are the integrins ...

A wide range of diseases and conditions are monitored or diagnosed from blood plasma, but the ability to analyze a whole blood sample with the requirements for a point-of-care device, such as robustness, user-friendliness, ...

Almost two centuries after the first observations of Robert Brown, the study of systems ruled by noise has become a significant part of modern physics and other so diverse situations, such as the stock market, personal ...

We present a model that allows for the derivation of the experimentally accesible observables: spatial steps, mean velocity, stall force, useful power, efficiency and randomness, etc. as a function of the adenosine triphosphate ...

Time traces obtained from a variety of biophysical experiments contain valuable information on underlying processes occurring at the molecular level. Accurate quantification of these data can help explain the details of ...

Calixarenes are promising compounds to be used as ionophores and for molecular recognition. Their ability to form Langmuir and Langmuir–Blodgett (LB) films is of great interest in order to obtain small sensor devices which ...
