The astrocyte as a gatekeeper of synaptic information transfer
Vladislav Volman, Eshel Ben-Jacob, Herbert Levine
We present a simple biophysical model for the coupling between synaptic transmission and the local calcium concentration on an enveloping astrocytic domain. This interaction enable…
Cooperative transport by small teams of molecular motors
Stefan Klumpp, Melanie J. I. Muller, Reinhard Lipowsky
Molecular motors power directed transport of cargoes within cells. Even if a single motor is sufficient to transport a cargo, motors often cooperate in small teams. We discuss the…
Creation and pinning of vortex-antivortex pairs
Sangbum Kim, Chia-Ren Hu, Malcolm J. Andrews
Computer modeling is reported about the creation and pinning of a magnetic vortex-antivortex (V-AV) pair in a superconducting thin film, due to the magnetic field of a vertical mag…
Analytic descriptions for transitional nuclei near the critical point
M. A. Caprio, F. Iachello
Exact solutions of the Bohr Hamiltonian with a five-dimensional square well potential, in isolation or coupled to a fermion by the five-dimensional spin-orbit interaction, are cons…
A Holographic Framework for Eternal Inflation
Ben Freivogel, Yasuhiro Sekino, Leonard Susskind +1
In this paper we provide some circumstantial evidence for a holographic duality between bubble nucleation in an eternally inflating universe and a Euclidean conformal field theory.…
Statistical Mechanics of a Cat's Cradle
Tongye Shen, Peter G. Wolynes
It is believed that, much like a cat's cradle, the cytoskeleton can be thought of as a network of strings under tension. We show that both regular and random bond-disordered networ…
