Seeking Biology's Physics Stories: Simplify, Simplify
The American poet Muriel Rukeyser said, “The universe is made of stories, not of atoms.” I've sought stories in biophysics, mostly through theoretical modeling, often through simplified models. My colleagues and I brought polymer statist...

A Tubules-First Model for the Origin of Eukaryotic Membrane Traffic
The discovery of membrane trafficking proteins in Asgard archaea—the closest archaeal relatives of eukaryotes—reveals the deep evolutionary roots of the eukaryotic endomembrane system. This review synthesizes genomic, structural, and fun...

Systems Biology of Aging, Metabolism, and Mitochondria
Since the beginning of this century, the emergence of systems biology, driven by technological, informatic, and theoretical advances, has led to an unprecedented generation of data and information about biological systems at multiple lev...

Rigidity and Mechanical Response in Biological Structures
Rigidity is an emergent property of materials—it is not a feature of individual components that compose the structure, but instead arises from interactions between many constituent parts. It has been recognized that floppy–rigid or fluid...

Pattern Formation Beyond Turing: Physical Principles of Mass-Conserving Reaction–Diffusion Systems
Intracellular protein patterns govern essential cellular functions by dynamically redistributing proteins between membrane-bound and cytosolic states, conserving their total numbers. This review presents a theoretical framework for under...

Learning the Principles of T Cell Antigen Discernment
T cells are central to the adaptive immune response, capable of detecting pathogenic antigens while ignoring healthy tissues with remarkable specificity and sensitivity. Quantitatively understanding how T cell receptors discern among ant...

Mitochondrial Outer Membrane Voltage-Dependent Anion Channels: Unique Structures, Distinct Functions, and Novel Therapeutic Targets
Voltage-dependent anion channels (VDACs) of the outer mitochondrial membrane carry out bidirectional flux of metabolites and ions and serve as the first line of communication between the cytosol and mitochondria. They are now recognized ...

Ligand Binding Dynamics of Ion Channels and GPCRs Using Single-Molecule Fluorescence
Chemical signaling underlies many biological processes, and membrane receptors such as G protein–coupled receptors and ligand-gated ion channels represent two of the most pharmacologically important protein families. Advances in single-m...
