This pattern extends beyond humans: culturally evolving systems in e.g. birdsong and whale song share these properties of non-cumulative cultural evolution. While both music and language may follow similar evolutionary principles, they differ in key aspects: music lacks intrinsic meaning, while language's lexicon remains partially constrained by local conditions such as technological vocabulary. Both systems evolve along cyclical trajectories driven by ergodic mechanisms, affording constant potential for reinvention. Music may, however, serve more as a \"uniter\" across groups, fostering social bonds with lower barriers to cultural assimilation.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":403,"journal":{"name":"Physics of Life Reviews","volume":"53 ","pages":"Pages 141-143"},"PeriodicalIF":13.7,"publicationDate":"2025-02-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143580560","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This ability is endowed by modulating cells’ viscoelastic properties, which dominates over various complex cellular processes. The viscoelasticity of living cells, a concept adapted from rheology, exhibits substantially spatial and temporal variability. This review aims not only to discuss the rheological properties of cells but also to clarify the complexity of cellular rheology, emphasizing its dependence on both the size scales and time scales of the measurements. Like typical viscoelastic materials, the storage and loss moduli of cells often exhibit robust power-law rheological characteristics with respect to loading frequency. This intrinsic feature is consistent across cell types and is attributed to internal structures, such as cytoskeleton, cortex, cytoplasm and nucleus, all of which contribute to the complexity of cellular rheology. Moreover, the rheological properties of cells are dynamic and play a crucial role in various cellular and tissue functions. In this review, we focus on elucidating time- and size-dependent aspects of cell rheology, the origins of intrinsic rheological properties and how these properties adapt to cellular functions, with the goal of interpretation of rheology into the language of cell biology.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":403,"journal":{"name":"Physics of Life Reviews","volume":"53 ","pages":"Pages 91-116"},"PeriodicalIF":13.7,"publicationDate":"2025-02-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143550826","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It helps researchers to analyze complex physiological processes and connect like a bridge between theoretical and experimental observations. Various groups of mathematical models have been studied to analyze these processes, and the nonlocal models are one of them. Nonlocality is important in realistic mathematical models of physical and biological systems when local models fail to capture the essential dynamics and interactions that occur over a range of distances (e.g., cell-cell, cell–tissue adhesions, neural networks, the spread of diseases, intra-specific competition, nanobeams, etc.). This review illustrates different nonlocal mathematical models applied to biology and life sciences. The major focus has been given to sources, developments, and applications of such models. Among other things, a systematic discussion has been provided for the conditions of pattern formations in biological systems of population dynamics. Special attention has also been given to nonlocal interactions on networks, network coupling and integration, including brain dynamics models that provide an important tool to understand neurodegenerative diseases better. In addition, we have discussed nonlocal modeling approaches for cancer stem cells and tumor cells that are widely applied in the cell migration processes, growth, and avascular tumors in any organ. Furthermore, the discussed nonlocal continuum models can go sufficiently smaller scales, including nanotechnology, where classical local models often fail to capture the complexities of nanoscale interactions, applied to build biosensors to sense biomaterial and its concentration. Piezoelectric and other smart materials are among them, and these devices are becoming increasingly important in the digital and physical world that is intrinsically interconnected with biological systems. Additionally, we have reviewed a nonlocal theory of peridynamics, which deals with continuous and discrete media and applies to model the relationship between fracture and healing in cortical bone, tissue growth and shrinkage, and other areas increasingly important in biomedical and bioengineering applications. Finally, we provided a comprehensive summary of emerging trends and highlighted future directions in this rapidly expanding field.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":403,"journal":{"name":"Physics of Life Reviews","volume":"53 ","pages":"Pages 24-75"},"PeriodicalIF":13.7,"publicationDate":"2025-02-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143534866","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
