Spatiotemporal pattern formation of membranes induced by surface molecular binding/unbinding
Spatiotemporal pattern formation of membranes induced by surface molecular binding/unbinding Nonequilibrium membrane pattern formation is studied using meshless membrane simulation. We consider that molecules bind to either surface of a bilayer membrane and move to the opposite leaflet by flip--flop.

Single Person Identification and Activity Estimation in a Room from Waist-Level Contours Captured by 2D Light Detection and Ranging
1. Introduction Socially assistive robots are anticipated to find application in monitoring the health and accidents of older adults and providing psychological support in their homes [1]. Typically, these robots have the ability to engage in conversations with older adults at appropriate times, accompanied by various motions.
Curvature sensing of curvature-inducing proteins with internal structure
Many types of peripheral and transmembrane proteins can sense and generate membrane curvature. Laterally isotropic proteins and crescent proteins with twofold rotational symmetry, such as Bin/Amphiphysin/Rvs superfamily proteins, have been studied theoretically. However, proteins often have an asymmetric structure or a higher rotational symmetry. We studied theoretically the curvature sensing of proteins with asymmetric structures and structural deformations.
Disappearance, division, and route change of excitable reaction-diffusion waves in deformable membranes - Scientific Reports
Abstract Shapes of biomembrane in living cells are regulated by curvature-inducing proteins. However, the effects of membrane deformation on signal transductions such as chemical waves have not been researched adequately. Here, we report that membrane deformation can alter the propagation of excitable reaction-diffusion waves using state-of-the-art simulations.
Estimation of anisotropic bending rigidity and spontaneous curvature of crescent curvature-inducing proteins from tethered-vesicle experimental data
Estimation of anisotropic bending rigidity and spontaneous curvature of crescent curvature-inducing proteins from tethered-vesicle experimental data Hiroshi Noguchi, Nikhil Walani and Marino Arroyo Abstract The Bin/amphiphysin/Rvs (BAR) superfamily proteins have a crescent binding domain and bend biomembranes along the domain axis. However, their anisotropic bending rigidities and spontaneous curvatures have not been experimentally determined.
The efficacy and safety of condoliase for lumbar disc herniation: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Zeling Huang† Bo Xu† Yujiang Liu† Hua Chen Xuefeng Cai Long Zhang Xiaofeng Shen* Yuwei Li* Suzhou TCM Hospital Affiliated to Nanjing University of Chinese Medicine, Suzhou, Jiangsu, China Background: Chemonucleolysis is a minimally invasive treatment of lumbar disc herniation (LDH). However, the low specificity of the enzyme and the existence of serious adverse events limit the application of chemonucleolysis.
Excitable reaction-diffusion waves of curvature-inducing proteins on deformable membrane tubes
Abstract Living cells employ excitable reaction-diffusion waves for internal cellular functions, in which curvature-inducing proteins are often involved. However, the role of their mechanochemical coupling is not well understood. Here, we report the membrane deformation induced by the excitable reaction-diffusion waves of curvature-inducing proteins and the alternation in the waves due to the deformation, using a coarse-grained simulation of tubular membranes with a modified FitzHugh-Nagumo model.
Membrane shape deformation induced by curvature-inducing proteins consisting of chiral crescent binding and intrinsically disordered domains
No Access J. Chem. Phys. 157, 034901 (2022); https://doi.org/10.1063/5.0098249 Curvature-inducing proteins containing a bin/amphiphysin/Rvs domain often have intrinsically disordered domains. Recent experiments have shown that these disordered chains enhance curvature sensing and generation. Here, we report on the modification of protein–membrane interactions by disordered chains using meshless membrane simulations.

Effects of vapor-liquid phase transitions on sound-wave propagation: A molecular dynamics study
Abstract To understand ultrasonic cavitation, it is imperative to analyze the effects of the vapor-liquid phase transitions on sound-wave propagation. Since current methods based on fluid dynamics offer limited information, it is imperative to carry out further research on this phenomenon. In this study, we investigated the effects of cavitation and near-critical fluid on sound waves using the molecular dynamics (MD) simulations of Lennard-Jones fluids.

Introduction SARS-CoV-2 is a novel severe acute respiratory syndrome-related coronavirus strain and highly contagious to humans (Figure 1). Its infection on humans was reported in the early December of 2019 in Wuhan, China (Wang C. et al., 2020; Wu et al., 2020). On January 30, 2020, The World Health Organization (WHO) declared the outbreak of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) emergency (World Health Organization, 2020a).
Shin Megami Tensei 3: Nocturne HD Remaster's New 'Merciful Mode' Explained
Not quite as demonic. In an interview with IGN Japan at Tokyo Game Show 2020, Shin Megami Tensei series director Kazuyuki Yamai outlined Shin Megami Tensei 3: Nocturne HD Remaster's new Merciful Mode, which will be available as DLC after the cult RPG is re-released. Earlier this year, Atlus revealed that a remaster of Shin Megami Tensei 3: Nocturne is coming to the PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch in 2021.
Shape transition from elliptical to cylindrical membrane tubes induced by chiral crescent-shaped protein rods
Abstract Proteins often form chiral assembly structures on a biomembrane. However, the role of the chirality in the interaction with an achiral membrane is poorly understood. Here, we report how chirality of crescent-shaped protein rods changes their assembly and tubulation using meshless membrane simulations. The achiral rods deformed the membrane tube into an elliptical shape by stabilizing the edges of the ellipse.
