We discuss findings revolving around three central tenets. First, we show that—like concrete concepts—also abstract concepts evoke sensorimotor experiences, even if to a lower extent, and that they are linked to inner experiences (e.g., interoceptive, proprioceptive, and metacognitive). Second, we present findings suggesting that linguistic and social interaction are crucial for acquiring and using abstract concepts. Specifically, rating and behavioral studies reveal that people tend to feel uncertain about the meaning of abstract concepts. On top of that, with abstract concepts, people rely more on others to ask for information, negotiate conceptual meaning, or outsource their knowledge. We propose that inner speech might contribute both to the monitoring process and the preparation to interact with others. Finally, we illustrate recent studies conducted in our lab highlighting abstract concepts variability across individuals (age, expertise), cultures, and languages.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":403,"journal":{"name":"Physics of Life Reviews","volume":"52 ","pages":"Pages 109-128"},"PeriodicalIF":13.7,"publicationDate":"2024-12-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142890926","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}

Specifically, we overview the most important features of spontaneous folding of proteins (mostly, of the single-domain water-soluble globular proteins): the choice of the unique protein structure among zillions of alternatives, the nucleation of the folding process, and phase transitions within protein molecules. We consider the main experimental facts on protein folding, both in vivo and in vitro, of both kinetic and thermodynamic nature. We discuss the famous Levinthal's paradox of protein folding and its solution, theoretical models of protein folding and unfolding, and the dependence of the rates of these processes on the protein chain length. Special attention is paid to relatively small, single-domain, and water-soluble globular proteins whose structure and folding are much better studied and understood than those of large proteins, especially membrane or fibrous proteins. Lastly, we describe the chaperone-assisted protein folding with an emphasis on the chaperones’ ability to prevent proteins from their irreversible aggregation. Since the possible assistance mechanisms connected with chaperones are still debatable, experimental data useful in selecting the most likely mechanisms of chaperone-assisted protein folding are presented.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":403,"journal":{"name":"Physics of Life Reviews","volume":"52 ","pages":"Pages 66-79"},"PeriodicalIF":13.7,"publicationDate":"2024-12-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142875613","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}

We look back at the original model and its hypotheses, especially as these regard distinct \"outcomes,\" which we had argued may provide a superstructure of supraordinate, shared varieties of art experience detected across individual meetings of viewer, context, and artworks. In the present paper we consider whether these outcomes could also be a useful tool for approaching new demands across multiple art-related areas that have strengthened in the years since the original publication regarding applying the arts to wellbeing, societal challenges, and health. All of which require a framework for better understanding and testing the nuanced features of individual-centered art experience.

Guided also by new evidence from our team that has provided a bottom-up verification of the specified outcome types and their implications, we provide a working set of suggestions whereby we might connect wellbeing- or attitude/behavioral change-related targets to the specific VIMAP outcomes, which we argue may provide a powerful mechanistic structure for future research.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":403,"journal":{"name":"Physics of Life Reviews","volume":"52 ","pages":"Pages 132-143"},"PeriodicalIF":13.7,"publicationDate":"2024-12-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142913479","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}
