    • Effects of pulsed electric fields on yeast with prions and the structure of amyloid fibrils 

      Versockienė, Justina; Bičkovas, Nedas; Sakalauskas, Andrius; Novickij, Vitalij; Smirnovas, Vytautas; Lastauskienė, Eglė (Applied sciences, 2021)
      Prions are misfolded, self-replicating, and transmissible proteins capable of causing different conditions that affect the brain and nervous system in humans and animals. Yeasts are the perfect model to study prion formation, ...
    • Inactivation of bacteria using bioactive nanoparticles and alternating magnetic fields 

      Novickij, Vitalij; Stanevičienė, Ramunė; Gruškienė, Rūta; Badokas, Kazimieras; Lukša, Juliana; Sereikaitė, Jolanta; Mažeika, Kęstutis; Višniakov, Nikolaj; Novickij, Jurij; Servienė, Elena (Nanomaterials: Special issue: Applications and properties of magnetic nanoparticles, 2021)
      Foodborne pathogens are frequently associated with risks and outbreaks of many diseases; therefore, food safety and processing remain a priority to control and minimize these risks. In this work, nisin-loaded magnetic ...
    • Numerical modeling of coronavirus interaction mechanics with a host human cell 

      Jasevičius, Raimondas (Mechanics of advanced materials and structures, 2022)
      A numerical study of the interaction of the virus with the cell is presented. The cell was selected for human circulatory endothelium, while the virus was selected close to SARS-CoV-2. The environment in which the virus ...
    • Numerical modeling of the mechanics of the interaction of coronavirus with the lung epithelial cell 

      Jasevičius, Raimondas (Mechanics of advanced materials and structures, 2022)
      The interaction of the virus with the alveoli cell is examined, where the virus enters the lungs through the human airways after human inhalation. The virus selected was close to SARS-CoV-2. The numerical experiment was ...
    • Numerical modeling of thrombocyte interaction mechanics with a blood vessel wall / 

      Jasevičius, Raimondas, (Mathematics: Special issue: Optimization and simulation in mechanical engineering and computer aided design., 2023.)
      A platelet (thrombocyte) can be in two states, activated and inactivated. The paper analyzes the interaction of an inactive platelet cell with the wall of a blood vessel. The goal is to analyze and represent the dynamics ...
    • Numerical simulation of the mechanics of oblique interaction of a bacterium with a flat surface 

      Jasevičius, Raimondas (Mechanics of advanced materials and structures, 2022)
      Looking from the mechanical point of view the suspension containing the bacteria may be considered as a system of living active ultrafine particles. Here a model is developed for the interaction of the bacterium in an ...
