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…
Renormalization group theory for percolation in time-varying networks
Jens Karschau, Marco Zimmerling, Benjamin M. Friedrich
Motivated by multi-hop communication in unreliable wireless networks, we present a percolation theory for time-varying networks. We develop a renormalization group theory for a pro…
In-phase and anti-phase flagellar synchronization by basal coupling
G. S. Klindt, C. Ruloff, C. Wagner +1
We present a theory of flagellar synchronization in the green alga Chlamydomonas, using full treatment of flagellar hydrodynamics. We find that two recently proposed synchronizatio…
