Journal ArticleDOI
LOVTRAP: an optogenetic system for photoinduced protein dissociation
Hui Wang,Marco Vilela,Andreas Winkler,Miroslaw Tarnawski,Ilme Schlichting,Hayretin Yumerefendi,Brian Kuhlman,Rihe Liu,Gaudenz Danuser,Klaus M. Hahn +9 more
TL;DR: By reversibly sequestering proteins at mitochondria, LOVTRAP precisely modulated the proteins' access to the cell edge, demonstrating a naturally occurring 3-mHz cell-edge oscillation driven by interactions of Vav2, Rac1, and PI3K proteins.
Journal ArticleDOI
Parameter optimization in S-system models
Marco Vilela,Marco Vilela,I-Chun Chou,Susana Vinga,Ana Tereza Ribeiro de Vasconcelos,Eberhard O. Voit,Jonas S. Almeida,Jonas S. Almeida +7 more
TL;DR: The proposed method of eigenvector optimization constitutes an advancement over S-system parameter identification from time series using a recent method called Alternating Regression and overcomes convergence issues encountered in alternate regression by identifying nonlinear constraints that restrict the search space to computationally feasible solutions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Automated smoother for the numerical decoupling of dynamics models.
Marco Vilela,Marco Vilela,C. Borges,Susana Vinga,Ana Tereza Ribeiro de Vasconcelos,Helena Santos,Eberhard O. Voit,Jonas S. Almeida,Jonas S. Almeida +8 more
TL;DR: The Whittaker's smoother is reformulated within the context of information theory and extended by the development of adaptive signal segmentation to account for heterogeneous noise structures and constitutes a rather general tool for the reverse engineering of mechanistic model descriptions from multivariate experimental time series.
Journal ArticleDOI
Home Use of a Percutaneous Wireless Intracortical Brain-Computer Interface by Individuals With Tetraplegia
John D. Simeral,Thomas Hosman,Jad Saab,Sharlene N Flesher,Marco Vilela,Brian Franco,Jessica N. Kelemen,David M. Brandman,John G. Ciancibello,Paymon Rezaii,Emad N. Eskandar,David M. Rosler,Krishna V. Shenoy,Jaimie M. Henderson,Arto V. Nurmikko,Leigh R. Hochberg +15 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors demonstrate the first human use of a wireless broadband brain-computer interface (iBCI) in the presence of tetraplegia and demonstrate on-screen item selection tasks to assess iBCI enabled cursor control.
Journal ArticleDOI
ERK reinforces actin polymerization to power persistent edge protrusion during motility.
TL;DR: A model in which surges in ERK activity induced by extracellular cues enhance Arp2/3-mediated actin polymerization to generate protrusion power phases with enough force to counteract increasing membrane tension and to promote sustained motility is supported.
