Dynamical information synergy in biochemical signaling networks

Lauritz Hahn, Aleksandra M. Walczak, Thierry Mora

Biological cells encode information about their environment through biochemical signaling networks that control their internal state and response. This information is often encoded…

Dissipation in non-steady state regulatory circuits

P. Szymańska-Rożek, D. Villamaina, J. Miȩkisz +1

In order to respond to environmental signals, cells often use small molecular circuits to transmit information about their surroundings. Recently, motivated by concrete examples in…

Hunchback promoters can readout morphogenetic positional information in less than a minute

Jonathan Desponds, Massimo Vergassola, Aleksandra M. Walczak

The first cell fate decisions in the developing fly embryo are made very rapidly : hunchback genes decide in a few minutes whether a given nucleus follows the anterior or the poste…

A model for the integration of conflicting exogenous and endogenous signals by dendritic cells

Quentin Marcou, Irit Carmi-Levy, Coline Trichot +3

Cells of the immune system are confronted with opposing pro- and anti-inflammatory signals. Dendritic cells (DC) integrate these cues to make informed decisions whether to initiate…

Precision of readout at the hunchback gene: analyzing short transcription time traces in living fly embryos

Jonathan Desponds, Huy Tran, Teresa Ferraro +7

The simultaneous expression of the hunchback gene in the numerous nuclei of the developing fly embryo gives us a unique opportunity to study how transcription is regulated in livin…

Noise expands the response range of the Bacillus subtilis competence circuit

Andrew Mugler, Mark Kittisopikul, Luke Hayden +4

Gene regulatory circuits must contend with intrinsic noise that arises due to finite numbers of proteins. While some circuits act to reduce this noise, others appear to exploit it.…
