Role of spatial averaging in multicellular gradient sensing
Tyler Smith, Sean Fancher, Andre Levchenko +2
Gradient sensing underlies important biological processes including morphogenesis, polarization, and cell migration. The precision of gradient sensing increases with the length of…
Cell-cell communication enhances the capacity of cell ensembles to sense shallow gradients during morphogenesis
David Ellison, Andrew Mugler, Matthew Brennan +9
Collective cell responses to exogenous cues depend on cell-cell interactions. In principle, these can result in enhanced sensitivity to weak and noisy stimuli. However, this has no…
Limits to the precision of gradient sensing with spatial communication and temporal integration
Andrew Mugler, Andre Levchenko, Ilya Nemenman
Gradient sensing requires at least two measurements at different points in space. These measurements must then be communicated to a common location to be compared, which is unavoid…
