Propensity Straight-Through Gradients for Discrete Stochastic Systems

Jose M. G. Vilar, Leonor Saiz

Continuous-time Markov chains (CTMCs) provide the backbone for modeling discrete stochastic dynamics across applied, physical, and biological sciences. Their integration with moder…

Closed-form hard-sphere thermodynamics under nanoscale confinement: from equations of state to unmixing forces

Jose M. G. Vilar, Leonor Saiz

Equations of state accurately describe hard-sphere thermodynamics but are generally considered to fail under nanoscale confinement. We show that this failure is geometric rather th…

Scaling Laws and Paradoxical Metastable States in Nanofilament Entropic Separation

Jose M. G. Vilar, J. Miguel Rubi, Leonor Saiz

Entropic forces play a fundamental role in nanoscale phenomena, from colloidal self-assembly to biomolecular disaggregation. Here, we develop an exact analytical theory and find ge…

Exact Discrete Stochastic Simulation with Deep-Learning-Scale Gradient Optimization

Jose M. G. Vilar, Leonor Saiz

Exact stochastic simulation of continuous-time Markov chains (CTMCs) is essential when discreteness and noise drive system behavior, but the hard categorical event selection in Gil…

Roadmap for Condensates in Cell Biology

Dilimulati Aierken, Sebastian Aland, Stefano Bo +38

Biomolecular condensates govern essential cellular processes yet elude description by traditional equilibrium models. This roadmap, distilled from structured discussions at a works…

Actionable forecasting as a determinant of function in noisy biological systems

Jose M. G. Vilar, Leonor Saiz

Continuous adaptation to variable environments is crucial for the survival of living organisms. Here, we analyze how adaptation, forecasting, and resource mobilization towards a ta…
