Recent research has enhanced the development of substrates that serve as models of extracellular matrix and their use in studies of cell adhesion and migration. Advances include the development of methods to prepare substrates having ligands immobilized in controlled densities and patterns, and rece

Abstract
The transition from quantum chemistry to quantum biology is discussed, and the contributions that quantum biology can make to the study of biological structure and process are outlined. The need for extensions to the theory to deal with larger systems, to include solvent effects and to account for specificity, are emphasized.

Although empirically-validated treatments are useful in treating a variety of psychological dysfunctions, there continues to be a number of problems and criticisms regarding strict adherence to these treatment protocols. One such criticism concerns the fact that many individuals are unresponsive to
The purpose of this short article is twofold. First, we would like to take the opportunity of this special volume to deliver some modest reflexion on what we believe to be the real plus-value of the mathematical analysis of the models of quantum chemistry. As a secondary purpose, we wish to draw the
