TL;DR: This paper is concerned with the mathematical structure of the immersed boundary (IB) method, which is intended for the computer simulation of fluid–structure interaction, especially in biological fluid dynamics.

TL;DR: The authors provides an introduction to a wide diversity of problems ranging from population phenomena to demographics, genetics, epidemics and dispersal; in physiological processes, including the circulation, gas exchange in the lungs, control of cell volume, the renal counter-current multiplier mechanism, and muscle mechanics; to mechanisms of neural control.

TL;DR: It is shown that signal inactivation sharpens signals, reducing variability in the arrival time at the nuclear membrane, and can also compensate for an observed slowdown in signal propagation induced by the presence of organelle barriers.

TL;DR: The theory suggests that for binding sites in euchromatin there is an optimal level of volume exclusivity that balances a reduction in the volume searched in finding the binding site, with the height of effective potential barriers the protein must cross during the search process.
