Length control of long cell protrusions: rulers, timers and transport
Swayamshree Patra, Debashish Chowdhury, Frank Jülicher
A living cell uses long tubular appendages for locomotion and sensory purposes. Hence, assembling and maintaining a protrusion of correct length is crucial for its survival and ove…
Flagellar length control in multiflagellated eukaryotes: a case study with Giardia
Swayamshree Patra, Debashish Chowdhury
Every organism has a size that is convenient for its function. Not only multicellular organisms but also uni-cellular organisms and even subcellular structures have convenient size…
Flagellar length fluctuations: quantitative dependence on length control mechanism
Swayamshree Patra, Debashish Chowdhury
Organelles of optimum size are crucial for proper functioning of a living cell. The cell employs various mechanisms for actively sensing and controlling the size of its organelles.…
Decentralized decision making by an ant colony: drift-diffusion model of individual choice, quorum and collective decision
Smriti Pradhan, Swayamshree Patra, Debashish Chowdhury
Ants are social insects. When the existing nest of an ant colony becomes uninhabitable, the hunt for a new suitable location for migration of the colony begins. Normally, multiple…
Flagellar length control in monoflagellates by motorized transport: growth kinetics and correlations of length fluctuations
Swayamshree Patra, Debashish Chowdhury
How does a cell self-organize so that its appendages attain specific lengths that are convenient for their respective functions? What kind of 'rulers' does a cell use to measure th…
Level crossing statistics in a biologically motivated model of a long dynamic protrusion: passage times, random and extreme excursions
Swayamshree Patra, Debashish Chowdhury
Long cell protrusions, which are effectively one-dimensional, are highly dynamic subcellular structures. Length of many such protrusions keep fluctuating about the mean value even…
Flagellar length control in biflagellate eukaryotes: time-of-flight, shared pool, train traffic and cooperative phenomena
Swayamshree Patra, Frank Jülicher, Debashish Chowdhury
Flagella of eukaryotic cells are transient long cylindrical protrusions. The proteins needed to form and maintain flagella are synthesized in the cell body and transported to the d…
A pattern in the imaging data: mere artefact of spatio-temporal resolution
Swayamshree Patra, Swagata Dey, Krishanu Ray +1
{\it ' Seeing is believing '} \cite{north06}- is the fundamental philosophy of optical imaging based on light microscopy \cite{ntziachristos10}. Since the pioneering works of Anton…
A Multispecies Exclusion Process with Fusion and Fission of Rods: a model inspired by Intraflagellar Transport
Swayamshree Patra, Debashish Chowdhury
We introduce a multispecies exclusion model where length-conserving probabilistic fusion and fission of the hard rods are allowed. Although all rods enter the system with the same…
