[Biophysics seminar] Antonio Šiber: “Mechanics of inactive swelling and bursting of porate pollen grains”
[Biophysics seminar] Antonio Šiber: “Mechanics of inactive swelling and bursting of porate pollen grains”
The structure of pollen grains, which is typically characterized by soft apertures in an otherwise stiff exine shell, guides their response to changes in the humidity of the environment. These changes can lead to the desiccation of the grain and … Read More

[Biophysics seminar] Andraž Gnidovec: “Simulating the packing of spherical ellipses”
[Biophysics seminar] Andraž Gnidovec: “Simulating the packing of spherical ellipses”
Packing problems are abundant in nature and are thoroughly researched both experimentally and in numerical models. In particular, packings of anisotropic, elliptical particles emerge in models of liquid crystals, colloids, as well as granular and jammed matter. While most of … Read More

[Biophysics seminar] Boris Rogelj: “Molecular and cellular basis of neurodegeneration”
[Biophysics seminar] Boris Rogelj: “Molecular and cellular basis of neurodegeneration”
I will describe the basic molecular processes associated with disruption of homeostasis in a nerve cell and leading to neurodegeneration. We are mainly engaged in research into the causes of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and frontotemporal dementia. We look at the … Read More
