An alphabet of allostery: A transferable transfer entropy contact pattern predicts allosteric-site character and conformational rewiring
Allostery is increasingly understood as the propagation of dynamic information through a protein, yet the computational descriptors of that flow are computed one structure at a time and carry no transferable, sequence-level prior. Here w...

Learning the mechanism of collective microbial function via random community-media pairing
In microbial systems, many biochemical functions arise from pathways encoded and executed at the community level. The collective nature of these functions complicates bottom-up efforts to determine each species’ contribution. Previous wo...

Decoupling Bulk Stiffness and Pore Size in 3D Rat Tail Collagen I Matrices
The interplay between extracellular matrix (ECM) mechanics and the tumor microenvironment is increasingly recognized as a key driver of cancer progression. Three-dimensional (3D) collagen I culture systems provide more physiologically re...

Testing the Avrami-Dobrzyński model of cancer transformation using mutation-count clinical data across multiple tumour types
Background:The Avrami-Dobrzyński (A-D) model interprets malignant transformation as a phase-transition-like process, mathematically equivalent to the Johnson-Mehl-Avrami-Kolmogorov (JMAK) equation from condensed-matter physics.In this fr...

Spanning-tree thermostatistics of protein allostery: an exact Kirchhoff framework with application to oncogenic KRAS
This study introduces a statistical mechanical framework for allosteric communication in proteins based on the spanning-tree ensemble of residue contact networks. By representing

Proton flows, proton gradients and subcellular architecture in biological energy conversion
Hydrogen cations, or protons, provide a medium by which energy is stored in biological systems and converted for use in metabolic transformations. Such pre-eminence relies on the interplay between interfacial and bulk or chemical transfo...

Nonequilibrium temperature fluctuations as modulators of mitochondrial elastocapillary stability
Recent studies have suggested that under high or near-maximal mitochondrial respiratory activity, ion-translocating proteins within the inner mitochondrial membrane may generate transient nonequilibrium temperature fluctuations in the ad...

Steady-state thermal homeostasis model of heat generated and dissipated in the human retina
The retina is both metabolically active and exposed to light, resulting in persistent heat generation. However, the quantitative contributions of metabolic and irradiative heat sources, and the mechanisms responsible for dissipating this...

Scaling of the Bicoid morphogen gradient: the effect of state dependent diffusion
The mechanisms underlying the scaling of the Bicoid morphogen gradient in Drosophila with the embryo size is not clearly understood. We propose a model with a spatially varying diffusion coefficient along the anterior–posterior axis, tha...

Effect of high mobility group box-1 on receptor for advanced glycation endproducts (RAGE) and toll-like receptor-4 (TLR4) diffusion and signaling
High mobility group box-1 (HMGB1) is a damage-associated molecular pattern and a ligand for multiple immune receptors, including receptors for advanced glycation endproducts (RAGE) and toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4). Binding of HMGB1 to the...
