Multiple Phase Transitions Shape Biodiversity of a Migrating Population
Casey Barkan, Shenshen Wang
In a wide variety of natural systems, closely-related microbial strains coexist stably, resulting in high levels of fine-scale biodiversity. However, the mechanisms that stabilize…
Effective Dynamics of Generative Adversarial Networks
Steven Durr, Youssef Mroueh, Yuhai Tu +1
Generative adversarial networks (GANs) are a class of machine-learning models that use adversarial training to generate new samples with the same (potentially very complex) statist…
Molecular tug of war reveals adaptive potential of an immune cell repertoire
Hongda Jiang, Shenshen Wang
The adaptive immune system constantly remodels its lymphocyte repertoire for better protection against future pathogens. Its ability to improve antigen recognition on the fly relie…
Immune cells use active tugging forces to distinguish affinity and accelerate evolution
Hongda Jiang, Shenshen Wang
Cells are known to exert forces to sense their physical surroundings for guidance of motion and fate decisions. Here, we propose that cells might do mechanical work to drive their…
