Precision of flow sensing by self-communicating cells
Sean Fancher, Michael Vennettilli, Nicholas Hilgert +1
Metastatic cancer cells detect the direction of lymphatic flow by self-communication: they secrete and detect a chemical which, due to the flow, returns to the cell surface anisotr…
Temporal precision of molecular events with regulation and feedback
Shivam Gupta, Sean Fancher, Hendrik C. Korswagen +1
Cellular behaviors such as migration, division, and differentiation rely on precise timing, and yet the molecular events that govern these behaviors are highly stochastic. We inves…
Cell-to-cell information at a feedback-induced bifurcation point
Amir Erez, Tommy A. Byrd, Michael Vennettilli +1
A ubiquitous way that cells share information is by exchanging molecules. Yet, the fundamental ways that this information exchange is influenced by intracellular dynamics remain un…
Spiral wave propagation in communities with spatially correlated heterogeneity
Xiaoling Zhai, Joseph W. Larkin, Gürol M. Süel +1
Many multicellular communities propagate signals in a directed manner via excitable waves. Cell-to-cell heterogeneity is a ubiquitous feature of multicellular communities, but the…
Statistics of correlated percolation in a bacterial community
Xiaoling Zhai, Joseph W. Larkin, Kaito Kikuchi +3
Signal propagation over long distances is a ubiquitous feature of multicellular communities. In biofilms of the bacterium Bacillus subtilis, we recently discovered that some, but n…
Biochemical feedback and its application to immune cells II: dynamics and critical slowing down
Tommy A. Byrd, Amir Erez, Robert M. Vogel +4
Near a bifurcation point, the response time of a system is expected to diverge due to the phenomenon of critical slowing down. We investigate critical slowing down in well-mixed st…
