Physical limits on chemical sensing in bounded domains
Daniel R. McCusker, David K. Lubensky
Cells respond to chemical cues, and the precision with which they can sense these cues is fundamentally limited by the stochastic nature of diffusion and ligand binding. Berg and P…
Topological Floppy Modes in Epithelial Tissues
Harry Liu, Di Zhou, Leyou Zhang +2
Recent advances in topological mechanics have revealed unusual phenomena such as topologically protected floppy modes and states of self-stress that are exponentially localized at…
Physical limits to sensing material properties
Farzan Beroz, Di Zhou, Xiaoming Mao +1
Constitutive relations describe how materials respond to external stimuli such as forces. All materials respond heterogeneously at small scales, which limits what a localized senso…
Multicellular actomyosin cables in epithelia under external anisotropic stress
Meryl A Spencer, Jesus Lopez-Gay, Hayden Nunley +2
The alignment of cell-cell junctions and associated cortical actomyosin across multiple cells to form supracellular cables in an epithelium is an example of the long range tissue o…
Distinguishing Feedback Mechanisms in Clock Models
Alexander D. Golden, Joris Paijmans, David K. Lubensky
Biological oscillators are very diverse but can be classified based on dynamical motifs such as the types of feedback loops present. The S. Elongatus circadian clock is a remarkabl…
Robustness of clocks to input noise
Michele Monti, David K Lubensky, Pieter Rein ten Wolde
To estimate the time, many organisms, ranging from cyanobacteria to animals, employ a circadian clock which is based on a limit-cycle oscillator that can tick autonomously with a n…
