Effects of cell-cell communication on bacterial chemotaxis
Soutick Saha, Sean Fancher, Andrew Mugler
Bacteria track chemical gradients using a biased random walk, a process called chemotaxis. Experiments suggest that bacteria also communicate during this process. Using a mathemati…
Exosome-mediated chemotaxis optimizes leader-follower cell migration
Louis González, Andrew Mugler
Cells frequently employ extracellular vesicles, or exosomes, to signal across long distances and coordinate collective actions. Exosomes diffuse slowly, can be actively degraded, a…
Near-critical gene expression in embryonic boundary precision
Michael Vennettilli, Krishna P. Ramachandran, Andrew Mugler
Embryonic development relies on the formation of sharp, precise gene expression boundaries. In the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster, boundary formation has been proposed to occur…
