Modeling cell size regulation: From single-cell level statistics to molecular mechanisms and population level effects
Po-Yi Ho, Jie Lin, Ariel Amir
Most microorganisms regulate their cell size. We review here some of the mathematical formulations of the problem of cell size regulation. We focus on coarse-grained stochastic mod…
Details Matter: noise and model structure set the relationship between cell size and cell cycle timing
Felix Barber, Po-Yi Ho, Andrew W. Murray +1
Organisms across all domains of life regulate the size of their cells. However, the means by which this is done is poorly understood. We study two abstracted "molecular" models for…
Surprises in numerical expressions of physical constants
Ariel Amir, Mikhail Lemeshko, Tadashi Tokieda
In science, as in life, `surprises' can be adequately appreciated only in the presence of a null model, what we expect a priori. In physics, theories sometimes express the values o…
Defects on cylinders: superfluid helium films and bacterial cell walls
David R. Nelson, Ariel Amir
There is a deep analogy between the physics of crystalline solids and the behavior of superfluids, dating back to pioneering work of Phillip Anderson, Paul Martin and others. The s…
