Optimal decision making for sperm chemotaxis in the presence of noise

Justus A. Kromer, Steffen Märcker, Steffen Lange +2

For navigation, microscopic agents such as biological cells rely on noisy sensory input. In cells performing chemotaxis, such noise arises from the stochastic binding of signaling…

Load response of shape-changing microswimmers scales with their energy efficiency

Benjamin M. Friedrich

External forces acting on a microswimmer can feed back on its self-propulsion mechanism. We discuss this load response for a generic microswimmer that swims by cyclic shape changes…

Critical Point in Self-Organized Tissue Growth

Daniel Aguilar Hidalgo, Steffen Werner, Ortrud Wartlick +3

We present a theory of pattern formation in growing domains inspired by biological examples of tissue development. Gradients of signaling molecules regulate growth, while growth ch…

Droplet Ripening in Concentration Gradients

Christoph A. Weber, Chiu Fan Lee, Frank Jülicher

Living cells use phase separation and concentration gradients to organize chemical compartments in space. Here, we present a theoretical study of droplet dynamics in gradient syste…

Emergent stochastic oscillations and signal detection in tree networks of excitable elements

Justus Kromer, Ali Khaledi-Nasab, Lutz Schimansky-Geier +1

We study the stochastic dynamics of strongly-coupled excitable elements on a tree network. The peripheral nodes receive independent random inputs which may induce large spiking eve…
