Dynamic sampling and information encoding in biochemical networks
Garrett D. Potter, Tommy A. Byrd, Andrew Mugler +1
Cells use biochemical networks to translate environmental information into intracellular responses. These responses can be highly dynamic, but how the information is encoded in the…
Growth of bacteria in 3-d colonies
Xinxian Shao, Andrew Mugler, Justin Kim +3
The dynamics of growth of bacterial populations has been extensively studied for planktonic cells in well-agitated liquid culture, in which all cells have equal access to nutrients…
Collective chemotaxis through noisy multicellular gradient sensing
Julien Varennes, Bumsoo Han, Andrew Mugler
Collective cell migration in response to a chemical cue occurs in many biological processes such as morphogenesis and cancer metastasis. Clusters of migratory cells in these system…
Fundamental limits to collective concentration sensing in cell populations
Sean Fancher, Andrew Mugler
The precision of concentration sensing is improved when cells communicate. Here we derive the physical limits to concentration sensing for cells that communicate over short distanc…
