Investigating the thermodynamics of small biosystems with optical tweezers
(Physica E: Low-dimensional Systems and Nanostructures, 2010)We present two examples of how single-molecule experimental techniques applied to biological systems can give insight into problems within the scope of equilibrium and nonequilibrium mesoscopic ... -
Measurement of work in single-molecule pulling experiments
(The Journal of Chemical Physics, 2009)A main goal of single-molecule experiments is to evaluate equilibrium free energy differences by applying fluctuation relations to repeated work measurements along irreversible processes. We quantify ... -
Statistical properties of metastable intermediates in DNA unzipping
(Physical Review Letters, 2009)We unzip DNA molecules using optical tweezers and determine the sizes of the cooperatively unzipping and zipping regions separating consecutive metastable intermediates along the unzipping pathway. Sizes ... -
Single-molecule derivation of salt dependent base-pair free energies in DNA
(Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences., 2010)Accurate knowledge of the thermodynamic properties of nucleic acids is crucial to predicting their structure and stability. To date most measurements of base-pair free energies in DNA are obtained in ... -
Improving signal/noise resolution in single-molecule experiments using molecular constructs with short handles
(Biophysical Journal, 2011)We investigate unfolding/folding force kinetics in DNA hairpins exhibiting two and three states with newly designed short dsDNA handles (29 bp) using optical tweezers. We show how the higher stiffness ... -
Single-molecule stochastic resonance
(Physical Review X, 2012)Stochastic resonance (SR) is a well-known phenomenon in dynamical systems. It consists of the amplification and optimization of the response of a system assisted by stochastic (random or probabilistic) ... -
Counter-propagating dual-trap optical tweezers based on linear momentum conservation
(Review of Scientific Instruments, 2013)We present a dual-trap optical tweezers setup which directly measures forces using linear momentum conservation. The setup uses a counter-propagating geometry, which allows momentum measurement on each ... -
Derivation of nearest-neighbor DNA parameters in magnesium from single molecule experiments
(Nucleic Acids Research, 2017)DNA hybridization is an essential molecular reaction in biology with many applications. The nearest-neighbor (NN) model for nucleic acids predicts DNA thermodynamics using energy values for the different ... -

La alteridad mal explicada: una visión alternativa sobre el problema de las otras mentes
(Naturaleza y Libertad. Revista De Estudios Interdisciplinares, 2016)Tomando como punto de partida la tesis de Arana en La conciencia inexplicada(de que la conciencia es inexplicable por métodos naturalistas), la ponencia defiende una visión de la capacidad de alteridad ... -
Perennialism through the lens of otherness
(International Journal of Transpersonal Studies, 2020)Otherness has been a subject of the utmost relevance for continental philosophy since the beginning of the 20th century, constituting what might be characterized as an otherness turn. Otherness is here ... -
Evolving friendship? Essential changes, from social networks to artificial companions
(Social Network Analysis and Mining, 2022)Although the possibility of virtue friendship (friendship according to the Aristotelian ideal) has been studied both in online friendship and in friendship with artificial companions (ACs), there is one ... -
Spirituality and technology: a threefold philosophical reflection
(Zygon, 2023)Despite the prominent role that technology plays intwenty-first-century societies, the intersections between spiritualityand technology have been poorly analyzed. This article develops across-reflection ... -
El rol fonamental de l’alteritat a l’experiència humana
(Anuari de la Societat Catalana de Filosofia, 2018)Si bé el sentit del «jo» (self) ha estat a bastament analitzat en una àmplia varietat d’escoles i disciplines, el sentit de l’«altre» no ha estat tan desenvolupat. La present comunicació defensa, amb ... -
Transhumanisme i alteritat
(Anuari de la Societat Catalana de Filosofia, 2020)El moviment transhumanista ha anat guanyant rellevància mediàtica durant els darrers anys, i també ha rebut crítiques variades des d’una perspectiva filosòfica. La present comunicació afegeix una nova ... -
Correlation between superficial and deep lymphatic systems using magnetic resonance lymphangiography in breast cancer-related lymphedema: clinical implications
(Journal of Plastic, Reconstructive & Aesthetic Surgery, 2020)Background: Magnetic resonance lymphangiography (MRL) has increased our knowledge of lymphatic anatomy and lymphedema pathophysiology and improved the efficacy of microsurgical procedures to manage ... -
Hidden costs in breast cancer-related lymphedema
(Elsevier, 2021)Breast cancer is the most common neoplastic process in women, with an incidence of 2,088,849 cases in 2018, and an overall 5-year survival of 90% and a 10-year survival of 83%.1 Lymphedema secondary to ... -
Breast cancer-related lymphoedema: risk factors and prediction model
(Journal of Advanced Nursing, 2021)Aims: To identify the risk factors for lymphoedema following axillary lymph node dissection (ALND) in a European sample and to propose a lymphoedema prediction model for this population. Design: Predictive ...
