Ecosystems as adaptive living circuits

Ankit Dhanuka, Avi I. Flamholz, Arvind Murugan +1

Unlike many physical nonequilibrium systems, in biological systems, the coupling to external energy sources is not a fixed parameter but adaptively controlled by the system itself.…

Closed ecosystems extract energy through self-organized nutrient cycles

Akshit Goyal, Avi I. Flamholz, Alexander P. Petroff +1

Our planet is roughly closed to matter, but open to energy input from the sun. However, to harness this energy, organisms must transform matter from one chemical (redox) state to a…

The Anthropocene by the Numbers: A Quantitative Snapshot of Humanity's Influence on the Planet

Griffin Chure, Rachel A. Banks, Avi I. Flamholz +6

The presence and action of humans on Earth has exerted a strong influence on the evolution of the planet over the past 10,000 years, the consequences of which are now bec…

Quantitative clarification of key questions about COVID-19 epidemiology

Yinon M. Bar-On, Ron Sender, Avi I. Flamholz +2

Modeling the spread of COVID-19 is crucial for informing public health policy. All models for COVID-19 epidemiology rely on parameters describing the dynamics of the infection proc…

A quantitative compendium of COVID-19 epidemiology

Yinon M. Bar-On, Ron Sender, Avi I. Flamholz +2

Accurate numbers are needed to understand and predict viral dynamics. Curation of high-quality literature values for the infectious period duration or household secondary attack ra…

SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) by the numbers

Yinon M. Bar-On, Avi I. Flamholz, Rob Phillips +1

The current SARS-CoV-2 pandemic is a harsh reminder of the fact that, whether in a single human host or a wave of infection across continents, viral dynamics is often a story about…

The protein cost of metabolic fluxes: prediction from enzymatic rate laws and cost minimization

Elad Noor, Avi Flamholz, Arren Bar-Even +3

Bacterial growth depends crucially on metabolic fluxes, which are limited by the cell's capacity to maintain metabolic enzymes. The necessary enzyme amount per unit flux is a major…
