Accurate modelling of the late-time matter distribution is essential for testing cosmological scenarios beyond ΛCDM, especially in the non-linear regime where modified-gravity signatures are most prominent. However, obtaining ...

Small Ras-like GTPases are molecular switches that regulate diverse cellular processes including signal transduction, cytoskeletal dynamics, and membrane trafficking. They are majorly divided into five families: Ras, Rho, ...

Neurons contain long, branched projections (axons and dendrites) whose distal tips play an important role in cell growth and signal transmission, requiring high rates of energy consumption. Mitochondria are localized ...

Enteropathogenic E. coli (EPEC) and Enterohaemmorhagic E. coli (EHEC) are extracellular Gram-negative enteric pathogens that cause diarrhoeal disease in humans. They cause actin polymerisation downstream of intimin-induced ...

This study focuses on the microenvironmental and structural regulation of membrane trafficking in immune cells. Membrane trafficking was addressed in two distinct immune contexts, but from independent perspectives. First, ...

Active-sensing animals, such as bats, probe their environment by emitting energy and analysing returning signals. Even a solitary bat’s call generates a cascade of echoes from multiple objects, which the auditory system ...

The tumor microenvironment is a complex ecosystem composed of diverse cell types engaged in heterogeneous interactions. At a coarse-grained level, however, these interactions, while heterogeneous, are not totally random: ...

Ageing is characterized by a progressive decline in physiological functioning. It is influenced by various biotic and abiotic factors, including the host’s microbiota. Ageing can induce compositional and metabolic changes ...

Hydrogen disulfide (H2S2), a reactive sulfur species, recently gained attention as it is closely linked with H2S signaling while having distinct chemical properties. H2S2 is more efficient than H2S in inducing protein ...

Targeted drug delivery systems for cancer therapy are rapidly advancing, but the availability of efficient targeting ligands remains limited. This project focuses on chlorotoxin, a 36-amino-acid peptide derived from the ...
