Aptamer Renaissance for Neurochemical Biosensing
Unraveling the complexities of brain function, which is crucial for advancing human health, remains a grand challenge. This endeavor demands precise monitoring of small molecules such as neurotransmitters, the chemical messengers in the brain. In this Pers ...
2024Structure and dynamics of liquid water from ab initio simulations: adding Minnesota density functionals to Jacob's ladder
Ursula Röthlisberger, Justin Villard, Martin Peter Bircher
The accurate representation of the structural and dynamical properties of water is essential for simulating the unique behavior of this ubiquitous solvent. Here we assess the current status of describing liquid water using ab initio molecular dynamics, wit ...
Cambridge2024Multiscale biomolecular simulations in the exascale era
Ursula Röthlisberger, Simone Meloni
The complexity of biological systems and processes, spanning molecular to macroscopic scales, necessitates the use of multiscale simulations to get a comprehensive understanding. lar dynamics (MD) simulations are crucial for capturing processes beyond the ...
Current Biology Ltd2024Additive Manufacturing of Bioinspired Mineral-Based Composites
Biominerals are used by natural organisms for example as structural supports and optical sensors. They are produced from a limited number of elements and under ambient conditions. Nevertheless, they often possess excellent mechanical properties and sometim ...
EPFL2024Advancing first principle-based molecular dynamics of biological systems with machine learning
Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations have emerged as a transformative approach to analyse molecular systems at the atomic level, offering valuable insights into complex biological processes. Many biological phenomena can only accurately be described by inco ...
EPFL2023Modelling the coevolution of London's population and railway system
As cities continue to expand it has become crucial to describe their evolution in time and space. Building on analogies with biological systems, we propose a minimalist reaction-diffusion model coupled with economic constraints and an adaptive transport ne ...
2023Symbolic kinetic models in python (SKiMpy): intuitive modeling of large-scale biological kinetic models
Vassily Hatzimanikatis, Georgios Fengos, Maria Masid Barcon, Daniel Robert Weilandt, Zhaleh Hosseini, Pierre Guy Rémy Salvy
Motivation: Large-scale kinetic models are an invaluable tool to understand the dynamic and adaptive responses of biological systems. The development and application of these models have been limited by the availability of computational tools to build and ...
OXFORD UNIV PRESS2022Robotic manipulation to investigate the physical principles of biological self-organization
Self-organization is the spontaneous formation of ordered patterns and networks from a population of comparatively simple elements or individuals with no prior information on neither the formation process nor the final organization. While the construction ...
EPFL2022Morphological Sensitivity and Falling Behavior of Paper V-Shapes
Behavioral diversity seen in biological systems is, at the most basic level, driven by interactions between physical materials and their environment. In this context we are interested in falling paper systems, specifically the V-shaped falling paper (VSFP) ...
MIT PRESS2022Method and system for determining the intention of performing a voluntary action
The invention relates to methods and systems for determining the intention of a subject to perform a voluntary action based on the analysis of the subject's respiratory phases and neuroelectrical signals. ...
