Control of protein-based pattern formation via guiding cues
Tom Burkart, Manon C. Wigbers, Laeschkir Würthner +1
Proteins control many vital functions in living cells, such as cell growth and cell division. Reliable coordination of these functions requires the spatial and temporal organizaton…

Cytosolic flow induced symmetry breaking in a conceptual polarity model
Manon C Wigbers, Fridtjof Brauns, Ching Yee Leung +1
Important cellular processes, such as cell motility and cell division, are coordinated by cell polarity, which is determined by the non-uniform distribution of certain proteins. Su…

Pattern localization to a domain edge
Manon C. Wigbers, Fridtjof Brauns, Tobias Hermann +1
The formation of protein patterns inside cells is generically described by reaction-diffusion models. The study of such systems goes back to Turing, who showed how patterns can eme…
