Mechanochemical regulation of growth cone motility
Neuronal growth cones are exquisite sensory-motor machines capable of transducing features contacted in their local extracellular environment into guided process extension during development. Extensive research has shown that chemical ligands activate cell surface receptors on growth cones leading to intracellular signals that direct cytoskeletal changes. However, the environment also provides ...
متن کاملA MODEL FOR EVOLUTIONARY DYNAMICS OF WORDS IN A LANGUAGE
Human language, over its evolutionary history, has emerged as one of the fundamental defining characteristic of the modern man. However, this milestone evolutionary process through natural selection has not left any ’linguistic fossils’ that may enable us to trace back the actual course of development of language and its establishment in human societies. Lacking analytical tools to fathom the cr...

متن کاملMechanochemical model for myosin V.
A rigorous numerical test of a hypothetical mechanism of a molecular motor should model explicitly the diffusive motion of the motor's degrees of freedom as well as the transition rates between the motor's chemical states. We present such a Brownian dynamics, mechanochemcial model of the coarse-grain structure of the dimeric, linear motor myosin V. Compared with run-length data, our model provi...
متن کاملMinimal model dynamics for twelvefold quasipatterns.
A dynamical model of the Swift-Hohenberg type is proposed to describe the formation of twelvefold quasipattern as observed, for instance, in optical systems. The model incorporates the general mechanisms leading to quasipattern formation and does not need external forcing to generate them. Besides quadratic nonlinearities, the model takes into account an angular dependence of the nonlinear coup...
