Bayesian comparison of Langevin dynamics for cell motility from positional observation

Yusuke Kato, Jan Albrecht, Ted Moldenhawer +2

We develop a Bayesian framework for model comparison of second-order Langevin dynamics from position-only trajectories. While approximate increment likelihoods for nonlinear positi…

Likelihood-Based Heterogeneity Inference Reveals Non-Stationary Effects in Biohybrid Cell-Cargo Transport

Jan Albrecht, Lara S. Dautzenberg, Manfred Opper +2

Variability of motility behavior in populations of microbiological agents is a ubiquitous phenomenon even in the case of genetically identical cells. Accordingly, passive objects i…

A mass conserved reaction-diffusion system reveals switching between coexisting polar and oscillatory cell motility states

Jack M. Hughes, Cristina Martinez-Torres, Carsten Beta +2

Motile eukaryotic cells display distinct modes of migration that often occur within the same cell type. It remains unclear, however, whether transitions between the migratory modes…

Deciphering the dual chemotaxis strategy of bacteria in porous media

Sönke Beier, Veronika Pfeifer, Agniva Datta +2

Chemotaxis of bacterial swimmers that move in a run-and-turn pattern is well studied in uniform bulk fluid. It is primarily based on modulating the run time in dependence on the sw…

Modelling how lamellipodia-driven cells maintain persistent migration and interact with external barriers

Shubhadeep Sadhukhan, Cristina Martinez-Torres, Samo Penič +3

Cell motility is fundamental to many biological processes, and cells exhibit a variety of migration patterns. Many motile cell types follow a universal law that connects their spee…

Intermittent Run Motility of Bacteria in Gels Exhibits Power-Law Distributed Dwell Times

Agniva Datta, Sönke Beier, Veronika Pfeifer +2

While bacterial swimming has been well characterized in uniform liquid environments, only little is known about how bacteria propagate through complex environments, such as gel-lik…

The random walk of intermittently self-propelled particles

Agniva Datta, Carsten Beta, Robert Großmann

Motivated by various recent experimental findings, we propose a dynamical model of intermittently self-propelled particles: active particles that recurrently switch between two mod…

Non-Gaussian displacements in active transport on a carpet of motile cells

Robert Großmann, Lara S. Bort, Ted Moldenhawer +3

We study the dynamics of micron-sized particles on a layer of motile cells. This cell carpet acts as an active bath that propels passive tracer particles via direct mechanical cont…
