The immune response is considered a \"programmed\" singularity, whereas cancer is an \"unprogrammed\" singularity. These two systems perpetually engage in a cycle of attack and defense within the organism. The outcome is depending on the wining system, which determines whether the individual experiences a state resembling light or darkness. However, the overall mechanism of the competition remains unclear and is expected to be elucidated with future innovations in bioimaging technologies. Immune checkpoint blockade therapy is a means by which the two singularity balances can be artificially manipulated; therefore, mechanistic insight is necessary for cancer treatment strategies. Altogether, these findings provide a different perspective crucial for understanding the behavior of dynamic cell populations in multicellular organisms.","PeriodicalId":101323,"journal":{"name":"Biophysics and physicobiology","volume":"21 Supplemental","pages":"e211006"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2024-02-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11338675/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142038665","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Droplets formed via LLPS within cells, often referred to as membraneless organelles, serve to concentrate specific molecules, thus enhancing biochemical reactions. Artificial LLPS systems have been utilized to construct synthetic cell models, employing a range of synthetic molecules. LLPS systems based on DNA nanotechnology are particularly notable for their designable characteristics in droplet formation, dynamics, properties, and functionalities. This review surveys recent advancements in DNA-based LLPS systems, underscoring the programmability afforded by DNA's base-pair specific interactions. We discuss the fundamentals of DNA droplet formation, including temperature-dependence and physical properties, along with the precise control achievable through sequence design. Attention is given to the phase separation of DNA nanostructures on two-dimensional closed interfaces, which results in spatial pattern formation at the interface. Furthermore, we spotlight the potential of DNA droplet computing for cancer diagnostics through specific microRNA pattern recognition. We envision that DNA-based LLPS presents a versatile platform for the exploration of cellular mimicry and opens innovative ways for the development of functional synthetic cells.","PeriodicalId":101323,"journal":{"name":"Biophysics and physicobiology","volume":"21 1","pages":"e210010"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11128300/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141159213","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The fruitfly Drosophila melanogaster has often been used to identify the neural circuits involved in the regulation of specific behaviors because of the many neurogenetic tools available to express target genes in particular neurons. Neurons controlling sexual behavior, feeding behavior, and circadian rhythms have been identified, and the number of neurons responsible for controlling these phenomena is small. The search for a few neurons controlling a specific behavior is an important first step to clarify the overall picture of the neural circuits regulating that behavior. We previously found that the clock gene period (per), which is essential for circadian rhythms in Drosophila, is also essential for long-term memory (LTM). We have also found that a very limited number of per-expressing clock neurons in the adult brain are required for the consolidation and maintenance of LTM. In this review, we focus on LTM in Drosophila, introduce the concept of LTM regulation by a few clock neurons that we have recently discovered, and discuss how a few clock neurons regulate Drosophila LTM.","PeriodicalId":101323,"journal":{"name":"Biophysics and physicobiology","volume":"21 Supplemental","pages":"e211002"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2024-01-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11338676/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142038673","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
