The movement of small particles and molecules through nanopore membranes is widespread and has far-reaching implications. Consequently, the development of mathematical models is essential for understanding these processes on a micro level, leading to deeper insights. In this endeavor, we suggested a model based on a set of empirical equations to predict the transport of substances through a solid-state nanopore and the associated signals generated during their translocation.

Cytotoxicity assays are essential tests in studies on the safety and biocompatibility of various substances and on the efficiency of anticancer drugs. The most frequently used assays commonly require application of externally added labels and read only collective response of cells. Recent studies show that the internal biophysical parameters of cells can be associated with the cellular damage.

The viscoelastic parameters of the cell can report on the cell state, cellular processes and diseases. Cell mechanics strongly rely on the properties of the cytoskeleton, an important system of subcellular filaments, especially on the high-level structures that actin forms together with actin-binding proteins (ABPs). In normal cells, components of the cytoskeleton are highly integrated, and their functions are well orchestrated.

Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to synthesize comprehensive data on the prevalence of NMDAR antibodies in psychotic patients to assess their clinical significance and address inconsistencies in findings.* -
  • A total of 47 studies and 4 systematic reviews were reviewed, revealing that methods of detecting NMDAR antibodies greatly influenced results, and better detection techniques are needed for accurate prevalence assessment.* -
  • The findings indicate that NMDAR antibodies are present in some psychotic patients and may influence symptoms; thus, immunotherapy could be a potential treatment for those unresponsive to standard therapies, but further research is needed.*

Objective: To systematically assess EEG studies and evaluate neuropsychological changes of face recognition in the context of neutral face stimuli in individuals with schizophrenia spectrum disorders.

Methods: A literature search was conducted using the PubMed database from inception to March 2018. Studies included in the review measured any event-related potentials, neural oscillations, or phase synchrony.
