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…

Time and length scales of autocrine signals in three dimensions

Mathieu Coppey, Alexander M. Berezhkovskii, Stuart C. Sealfon +1

A model of autocrine signaling in cultures of suspended cells is developed on the basis of the effective medium approximation. The fraction of autocrine ligands, the mean and distr…

Kinetics of diffusion-limited catalytically-activated reactions: An extension of the Wilemski-Fixman approach

O. Bénichou, M. Coppey, M. Moerau +1

We study kinetics of diffusion-limited catalytically-activated reactions taking place in three dimensional systems, in which an annihilation of diffusive particle…

Mean joint residence time of two Brownian particles in a sphere

O. Benichou, M. Coppey, J. Klafter +2

We calculate the mean joint residence time of two Brownian particles in a sphere, for very general initial conditions. In particular, we focus on the dependence of this residence t…

Optimal search strategies for hidden targets

O. Benichou, M. Coppey, M. Moreau +2

What is the fastest way of finding a randomly hidden target? This question of general relevance is of vital importance for foraging animals. Experimental observations reveal that t…
