The consolidation of recent experiences into long-term memories is a fundamental function of the brain and critical for survival. Consolidation is linked to plastic changes at synapses between neurons. However, very little is known about how this plasticity is brought...

Skeletal muscle contains multiple cell types, regenerates when damaged via a pool of resident stem cells (called satellite cells), consumes significant amounts of metabolic energy, grows and adapts its structure and function based on its environment. Nearly all...

Prof. Aboelkassem’s laboratory uses stochastic multiscale computational models based on Brownian-Langevin dynamics principles to derive a coarse-graining model that can describe the cardiac thin-filament activation process during contraction. The model links atomistic...
