Oscillating concentrations suppress condensate coarsening
Mathias S. Heltberg, Lukas H. Kristensen, Mogens H. Jensen +1
Living cells utilize condensates to spatially concentrate molecules in response to dynamic signals. For instance, nuclear condensates respond to oscillations in transcription facto…
Influence of physical interactions on spatiotemporal patterns
Chengjie Luo, David Zwicker
Spatiotemporal patterns are often modeled using reaction-diffusion equations, which combine complex reactions between constituents with ideal diffusive motion. Such descriptions ne…
Enabling MPI communication within Numba/LLVM JIT-compiled Python code using numba-mpi v1.0
Kacper Derlatka, Maciej Manna, Oleksii Bulenok +2
The numba-mpi package offers access to the Message Passing Interface (MPI) routines from Python code that uses the Numba just-in-time (JIT) compiler. As a result, high-performance…
Could Living Cells Use Phase Transitions to Process Information?
Arvind Murugan, David Zwicker, Charlotta Lorenz +1
To maintain homeostasis, living cells process information with networks of interacting molecules. Traditional models for cellular information processing have focused on networks of…
Physical and geometric constraints explain the labyrinth-like shape of the nasal cavity
David Zwicker, Rodolfo Ostilla-Mónico, Daniel E. Lieberman +1
The nasal cavity is a vital component of the respiratory system that heats and humidifies inhaled air in all vertebrates. Despite this common function, the shapes of nasal cavities…
Advection selects pattern in multistable emulsions of active droplets
Stefan Köstler, Yicheng Qiang, Guido Kusters +1
Controlling the size of droplets, for example in biological cells, is challenging because large droplets typically outcompete smaller droplets due to surface tension. This coarseni…
