Giant fluctuations and structural effects in a flocking epithelium
Fabio Giavazzi, Chiara Malinverno, Salvatore Corallino +3
Epithelial cells cultured in a monolayer are very motile in isolation but reach a near-jammed state when mitotic division increases their number above a critical threshold. We have…
Statistics of shared components in complex component systems
Andrea Mazzolini, Marco Gherardi, Michele Caselle +2
Many complex systems are modular. Such systems can be represented as "component systems", i.e., sets of elementary components, such as LEGO bricks in LEGO sets. The bricks found in…
Cholesterol impairment contributes to neuroserpin aggregation
Costanza Giampietro, Maria Chiara Lionetti, Giulio Costantini +3
Intraneural accumulation of misfolded proteins is a common feature of several neurodegenerative pathologies including Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases, and Familial Encephalopa…
Intermittent transport of bacterial chromosomal loci
Marco Gherardi, Ludovico Calabrese, Mikhail Tamm +1
The short-time dynamics of bacterial chromosomal loci is a mixture of subdiffusive and active motion, in the form of rapid relocations with near-ballistic dynamics. While previous…
Folding and cytoplasm viscoelasticity contribute jointly to chromosome dynamics
K. E. Polovnikov, M. Gherardi, M. Cosentino-Lagomarsino +1
The chromosome is a key player of cell physiology, and its dynamics provides valuable information about its physical organization. In both prokaryotes and eukaryotes, the short-tim…
Cell-to-cell variability and robustness in S-phase duration from genome replication kinetics
Qing Zhang, Federico Bassetti, Marco Gherardi +1
Genome replication, a key process for a cell, relies on stochastic initiation by replication origins, causing a variability of replication timing from cell to cell. While stochasti…
