From Dr. Goult’s profile page:
I am a structural mechanobiologist and combine structural biology, biochemistry, biophysics and mechanobiology to define the role of how physical and mechanical forces are sensed through cell-extracellular matrix (ECM) adhesion complexes to control cellular processes. I have developed an international reputation for my work on the protein talin, and our work has defined talin as a major mechanosensitive signalling hub. More recently we have discovered that talin has “molecular memory” and so provides organisms with a way to store data, through persistent alterations in protein conformation.
Read our latest work “The Mechanical Basis of Memory – The MeshCODE theory” at https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fnmol.2021.592951/full
This theory identifies a binary coding that manages memory in the brain and a physical location for where memories are stored.
