Browse by discipline →Abiotic vs Enzymatic PLOOH Regioselectivity as Chemical Fossil of Antioxidant Evolution
PASSThe chemical 'sloppiness' of ancient iron reactions may explain why cells evolved precise antioxidant enzymes.
Ferritin Protein Shell as Kinetic Barrier Controlling Ferrihydrite Fenton Activity
PASSYour cells may use a protein cage to trap a tiny chemical reactor that could otherwise burn them from the inside.
PHREEQC Iron Speciation Model Predicts GSH-Dependent Fenton Activity Amplification
PASSGSH is both a major iron chelator (~5 mM, forming relatively Fenton-inactive Fe-GSH complexes) and a GPX4 cofactor. Erastin depletes GSH, simultaneously removing GPX4's substrate AND shifting iron speciation toward Fenton-active complexes (Fe-citrate, Fe-ADP).
Pourbaix Stability Field Mapping of Ferrihydrite-Catalyzed PLOOH Production
PASSAncient rock chemistry maps may predict exactly when and where iron triggers cell death.
Multi-Spectral Vibronic Coherence Transfer Between Photosynthetic Complexes
PASSPlants may secretly coordinate their two solar panels using quantum vibrations through cell membranes.
Quantitative Vibronic Coherence Extension in PSII Reaction Centers
CONDITIONALProtein vibrations may keep photosynthesis's quantum magic alive twice as long as we thought.
Wound-Induced Topological Defects Serve as Transient Stem Cell Attractors That Become Permanent Niches When Pinned by ECM Stiffness Gradients
PASSWounds may create invisible 'whirlpools' in tissue that act as GPS coordinates for stem cells rebuilding skin.
Organoid Symmetry Breaking Is a Topological Defect Nucleation Event -- Predictable by Active Nematic Theory and Controllable by Geometric Confinement
PASSThe spots where mini-organs sprout their first buds may be predictable using the same math that explains tennis ball seams.
Calcium-Gated Condensate Dissolution as the Binary Transduction Step in Bioelectric Pattern Reading
PASSElectrical signals in developing tissue may sculpt gene activity by flipping molecular droplets on or off like a switch.
Activity-Dependent Crypt Fission Is Triggered When Local Epithelial Contractility Exceeds the Nematic Defect-Splitting Threshold
PASSIntestinal crypt splitting may be triggered by the same physics that governs swirling patterns in liquid crystals.
V-ATPase pH-Condensate Nodes as the Molecular Effector Layer of the Bioelectric Code
PASSTiny acid pockets near cellular pumps may sculpt protein blobs that tell embryos how to grow.
Wound-Edge V-ATPase Activation Triggers Condensate Dissolution Wave as a Rapid Regenerative Signal
PASSWhen tissue tears, a voltage-driven wave may dissolve tiny molecular droplets to kickstart healing genes.
Circadian V-ATPase Rhythms and Tissue-Specific Condensate Phase Diagrams Determine Chronovulnerability to Neurodegeneration
PASSYour brain's daily acid rhythm may be what keeps toxic protein clumps from forming — and aging breaks that rhythm.
