Rebuilding cytoskeleton roads: Active-transport-induced polarization of cells
Rhoda J. Hawkins, Olivier Benichou, Matthieu Piel +1
Many cellular processes require a polarization axis which generally initially emerges as an inhomogeneous distribution of molecular markers in the cell. We present a simple analyti…
Robustness of optimal intermittent search strategies in dimension 1, 2 and 3
C. Loverdo, O. Bénichou, M. Moreau +1
Search problems at various scales involve a searcher, be it a molecule before reaction or a foraging animal, which performs an intermittent motion. Here we analyze a generic model…
Searching fast for a target on a DNA without falling to traps
O. Bénichou, Y. Kafri, M. Sheinman +1
Genomic expression depends critically both on the ability of regulatory proteins to locate specific target sites on a DNA within seconds and on the formation of long lived (many mi…
