Molecular Drivers of Aging in Biomolecular Condensates: Desolvation, Rigidification, and Sticker Lifetimes

Subhadip Biswas, Davit A. Potoyan · 6 Jun 2024

Biomolecular condensates are dynamic intracellular entities defined by their sequence- and composition-encoded material properties. During aging, these properties can change dramatically, potentially leading to pathological solidlike states, the mechanisms of which remain poorly understood. Recent experiments reveal that the aging of condensates involves a complex interplay of solvent depletion, strengthening of sticker links, and the…

Models of Cell Processes are Far from the Edge of Chaos

Kyu Hyong Park, Felipe Xavier Costa, Luís M. Rocha et al. · 15 Dec 2023

Complex living systems are thought to exist at the "edge of chaos" separating the ordered dynamics of robust function from the disordered dynamics of rapid environmental adaptation. Here, a deeper inspection of 72 experimentally supported discrete dynamical models of cell processes reveals previously unobserved order on long time scales, suggesting greater rigidity in these systems…

Uncovering Universal Characteristics of Homing Paths using Foraging Robots

Somnath Paramanick, Arup Biswas, Harsh Soni et al. · 13 Aug 2024

Homing–the incredible ability of animals to navigate back to their homes from unfamiliar places is surprisingly widespread and crucial for their survival. However, the physical understanding of this phenomenon is not yet developed. Here we use a light-controlled robot mimicking foraging and homing behavior to investigate this phenomenon. The robot as a forager is a…

PRX Life template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the PRX Life format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the PRX Life template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official American Physical Society format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does PRX Life use?
PRX Life uses Numbered (APS) references, shown as numbered [1], [2] markers in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically. A reference appears like this: [1] A. Smith, B. Jones, and C. Lee, PRX Life 12, 45 (2023).
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to PRX Life?
No. DocuGuru generates the revtex4-2 LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a American Physical Society-ready PRX Life document without writing any LaTeX. If you do want it, the LaTeX source is included in the export.
Can I import an existing draft into the PRX Life template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the PRX Life format with correct headings, figures, tables, and numbered citations.
What is PRX Life?
American Physical Society journal (REVTeX 4.2). It is a physics journal, published by American Physical Society.
Can I export a submission-ready PRX Life PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official PRX Life template (the revtex4-2 class) that is ready to submit to American Physical Society, together with the matching LaTeX source files.
How much does the PRX Life template cost?
You can start writing in the PRX Life template for free. Exporting the final submission-ready PRX Life PDF and LaTeX source is part of DocuGuru's paid plans — see the app for current pricing.
