Novel technologies are required for three-dimensional cell biology and biophysics. By three-dimensional we refer to experimental conditions that essentially try to avoid hard and flat surfaces and favour unconstrained sample dynamics. We believe that light-sheet-based microscopes are particularly well suited to studies of sensitive three-dimensional biological systems. The application of such instruments can be illustrated with examples from the biophysics of microtubule dynamics and three-dimensional cell cultures. Our experience leads us to suggest that three-dimensional approaches reveal new aspects of a system and enable experiments to be performed in a more physiological and hence clinically more relevant context.  相似文献

The biosphere with its inherent chiral asymmetry fixed in the process of biological evolution at the level of L-amino acids and D-hydrocarbons and some other biologically active compounds of biogenic origin is under strong pressure of chiral substances produced by chemical, pharmaceutical, and other branches of industry and agriculture. Effective use of enantiomers is accompanied by toxic and even mutagenic effects of their mirror-image enantiomorphs. Only small amounts of products are tested for chiral purity; there is no system of global biosphere monitoring as well as no common standards of permissible concenrations. The investigation of the molecular basis of chiral stereospecificity of enzymes and cell receptors is of great interest from the point of view of fundamental biophysics. On the other hand, the development of chiral-selective sensors for environmental monitoring is important from the viewpoint of applied biophysics.  相似文献

The lipid bilayer is a functional component of cells, forming a stable platform for the initiation of key biological processes, including cell signalling. There are distinct changes in the lipid composition of cell membranes during oncogenic transformation resulting in aberrant activation and inactivation of signalling transduction pathways. Studying the role of the cell membrane in cell signalling is challenging, since techniques are often limited to by timescale, resolution, sensitivity, and averaging. To overcome these limitations, combining ‘computational’, ‘wet-lab’ and ‘semi-dry’ approaches offers the best opportunity to resolving complex biological processes involved in membrane organisation. In this review, we highlight analytical tools that have been applied for the study of cell signalling initiation from the cancer cell membranes through computational microscopy, biological assays, and membrane biophysics. The cancer therapeutic potential of extracellular membrane-modulating agents, such as cholesterol-reducing agents is also discussed, as is the need for future collaborative inter-disciplinary research for studying the role of the cell membrane and its components in cancer therapy.  相似文献

On the basis of the recently proposed new fundamental equation of mathematical biophysics, a suggestion is made for a theory of the formation of a primitive cell from nonliving material. The discussion includes a suggestion for a quantitative formulation of the degree of biological organization. It is shown that according to the fundamental equation of mathematical biophysics, organization of the nonliving material may spontaneously increase under certain conditions, leading to a formation of a primitive organism. This process however, is a very slow one, requiring time intervals of several years or even decades. This may account for the failure in observing or artificially producing spontaneous generation.  相似文献

This review considers experimental research of the biological effects of terahertz radiation and their results, which provide a basis for medical application of laser terahertz radiation. Therapeutic and diagnostic uses of laser terahertz radiation are described with reference to preliminary basic investigations at the organismic, cell, and molecular levels. It is emphasized that preliminary basic studies of this kind are of importance as another avenue of research to design diagnostic and therapeutic techniques in addition to terahertz imaging and spectroscopy.

The interplay between the amyloid-β (Aβ) peptide and cellular membranes have been proposed as an important mechanism for toxicity in Alzheimer's disease (AD). Membrane environments appear to influence Aβ aggregation and may stabilize intermediate Aβ oligomeric states that are considered to be neurotoxic. One important role for molecular biophysics within the field of Aβ studies is to characterize the structure and dynamics of the Aβ peptide in various states, as well as the kinetics of transfer between these states. Because biological cell membranes are very complex, simplified membrane models are needed to facilitate studies of Aβ and other amyloid proteins in lipid environments. In this review, we examine different membrane-mimetic systems available for molecular studies of Aβ. An introduction to each system is given, and examples of important findings are presented for each system. The benefits and drawbacks of each system are discussed from methodical and biological perspectives.  相似文献

Conclusions There have been changes in the practice of fixation over the past 10 years. There seem to be at least two different pressures working. On the one hand, there is increasing diversity in cell biological techniques which in turn demands more variable fixation procedures. Some of these have been outlined. Some of this change in practice has percolated through to pathology where it has been found to be diagnostically useful. In surgical pathology on the other hand, there is the continuing financial pressure for more rapid through-put of specimens which includes more rapid fixation, often with the loss of potential for subsequent chemical investigations. These are the horns of the dilemma; both are wanted at the same time.It seems that there is no magical fixative in sight which will permit all investigations on all tissues. Rather, it seems that the future will hold increasing diversity in fixation procedures which will demand that practitioners be well informed as to possibilities which, hopefully, may lend to better understanding of the problems and mechanisms of fixation.  相似文献

Collective cell motility is crucial to many biological processes including morphogenesis, wound healing, and cancer invasion. Recently, the biology and biophysics communities have begun to use the term ‘cell jamming’ to describe the collective arrest of cell motion in tissues. Although this term is widely used, the underlying mechanisms are varied. In this review, we highlight three independent mechanisms that can potentially drive arrest of cell motion — crowding, tension-driven rigidity, and reduction of fluctuations — and propose a framework that connects all three. Because multiple mechanisms may be operating simultaneously, this emphasizes that experiments should strive to identify which mechanism dominates in a given situation. We also discuss how specific cell-scale and molecular-scale biological processes, such as cell–cell and cell-substrate interactions, control aspects of these underlying physical mechanisms.  相似文献

Many theories of reflexology use ancient concepts which do not coincide with the modern medical terminology of anatomy, physiology and biophysics. This substantially reduces the trust of physicians in reflexology methods. During this research, several mathematical models for the interaction of the internal and biological active points of meridian structures have been proposed. The analysis of these models allows the specification of a list of gastric diseases for which reflex diagnostics and reflex therapy methods are most effective and also allows increasing the effectiveness of these procedures. It is shown that good results for the prediction and early diagnosis of diseases from the reaction energy of biologically active points (acupuncture points) are obtained using fuzzy logic decision making.  相似文献

Fluorescence microscopy has undergone a renaissance in the last decade. The introduction of green fluorescent protein (GFP) and two-photon microscopy has allowed systematic imaging studies of protein localization in living cells and of the structure and function of living tissues. The impact of these and other new imaging methods in biophysics, neuroscience, and developmental and cell biology has been remarkable. Further advances in fluorophore design, molecular biological tools and nonlinear and hyper-resolution microscopies are poised to profoundly transform many fields of biological research.  相似文献

Occupational medicine is a key component of a comprehensive occupational health and safety program in support of laboratory animal research and production facilities. The mission of the department is to maximize employee health and productivity utilizing a population health management approach, which includes measurement and analysis of health benefits utilization. The department works in close cooperation with other institutional health and safety professionals to identify potential risks from exposure to physical, chemical, and biological hazards in the workplace. As soon as exposures are identified, the department is responsible for formulating and providing appropriate medical surveillance programs. Occupational medicine is also responsible for targeted delivery of preventive and wellness services; management of injury, disease, and disability; maintenance of medical information; and other clinic services required by the institution. Recommendations are provided for the organization and content of occupational medicine programs for animal research facilities.  相似文献

The Department of Bioengineering at the University of California, Riverside (UCR), was established in 2006 and is the youngest department in the Bourns College of Engineering. It is an interdisciplinary research engine that builds strength from highly recognized experts in biochemistry, biophysics, biology, and engineering, focusing on common critical themes. The range of faculty research interests is notable for its diversity, from the basic cell biology through cell function to the physiology of the whole organism, each directed at breakthroughs in biomedical devices for measurement and therapy. The department forges future leaders in bioengineering, mirroring the field in being energetic, interdisciplinary, and fast moving at the frontiers of biomedical discoveries. Our educational programs combine a solid foundation in bio logical sciences and engineering, diverse communication skills, and training in the most advanced quantitative bioengineering research. Bioengineering at UCR also includes the Bioengineering Interdepartmental Graduate (BIG) program. With its slogan Start-Grow-Be-BIG, it is already recognized for its many accomplishments, including being third in the nation in 2011 for bioengineering students receiving National Science Foundation graduate research fellowships as well as being one of the most ethnically inclusive programs in the nation.  相似文献

Based on comparative analysis, it is shown that the electron transfer theory traditionally used in biophysics is often unable to explain the electron transfer regularities observed in biological molecular systems. The data for seven electron transfer reactions (direct and reverse) that occur in bacterial photosynthetic reaction centers (mainly, purple bacteria Rhodobacter sphaeroides) have been analyzed. Conceivable reasons for the discrepancy between the theoretical and experimental data are discussed and some approaches to overcoming this contradiction are offered.  相似文献

Traditional particle-based simulation strategies are impractical for the study of lipid bilayers and biological membranes over the longest length and time scales (microns, seconds and longer) relevant to cellular biology. Continuum-based models developed within the frameworks of elasticity theory, fluid dynamics and statistical mechanics provide a framework for studying membrane biophysics over a range of mesoscopic to macroscopic length and time regimes, but the application of such ideas to simulation studies has occurred only relatively recently. We review some of our efforts in this direction with emphasis on the dynamics in model membrane systems. Several examples are presented that highlight the prominent role of hydrodynamics in membrane dynamics and we argue that careful consideration of fluid dynamics is key to understanding membrane biophysics at the cellular scale.  相似文献
