Experimental Evidence for Phase Synchronization Transitions in the Human Cardiorespiratory System
TL;DR: In this article, the authors found that phase synchronization between heartbeat and breathing is significantly enhanced during non-rapid-eye-movement (non-REM) sleep (deep sleep and light sleep) and reduced during REM sleep.

Asynchronous states and the emergence of synchrony in large networks of interacting excitatory and inhibitory neurons
David Hansel,Germán Mato +1 more
TL;DR: This work investigates theoretically the conditions for the emergence of synchronous activity in large networks, consisting of two populations of extensively connected neurons, one excitatory and one inhibitory, and shows that these mechanisms can be differentiated by the firing patterns they generate and their dependence on the mutual interactions of the inhibitory neurons and cross talk between the two populations.

Membrane Mediated Attraction and Ordered Aggregation of Colloidal Particles Bound to Giant Phospholipid Vesicles
TL;DR: It is directly demonstrated that both chemically attached and electrostatically physisorbed particles can cause elastic deformations of flexible giant vesicles and experience membrane mediated attraction.

Dynamics of membranes driven by actin polymerization.
Nir S. Gov,Ajay Gopinathan +1 more
TL;DR: A simple model that treats the dynamics of a membrane under the action of actin polymerization forces that depend on the local density of freely diffusing activators on the membrane shows that, depending on the spontaneous membrane curvature associated with the activators, the resulting membrane motion can be wavelike, corresponding to membrane ruffling and actin waves, or unstable, indicating the tendency of filopodia to form.

The Fusion of Membranes and Vesicles: Pathway and Energy Barriers from Dissipative Particle Dynamics
TL;DR: The fusion of lipid bilayers is studied with dissipative particle dynamics simulations and the fusion probability is found to possess a maximum at intermediate tension values, which would imply that the tension has to exceed a certain threshold value to induce fusion.
