Branching processes with resetting as a model for cell division
Arthur Genthon, Reinaldo García-García, David Lacoste
We study the Stochastic Thermodynamics of cell growth and division using a theoretical framework based on branching processes with resetting. Cell division may be split into two su…
A robust transition to homochirality in complex chemical reaction networks
Gabin Laurent, David Lacoste, Pierre Gaspard
Homochirality, i.e. the dominance across all living matter of one enantiomer over the other among chiral molecules, is thought to be a key step in the emergence of life. Building o…
Emergence of homochirality in large molecular systems
Gabin Laurent, David Lacoste, Pierre Gaspard
The selection of a single molecular handedness, or homochirality across all living matter, is a mystery in the origin of life. Frank's seminal model showed in the fifties how chira…
