Toward a general theory for the universality and scaling in critical thermal responses in biology
Jose Ignacio Arroyo, Pablo A. Marquet, Christopher P. Kempes +1
We developed a theory showing that under appropriate normalizations and rescalings, temperature response curves show a remarkably regular behavior and follow a general, universal l…
Paradox resolved: The allometric scaling of cancer risk across species
Christopher P. Kempes, Geoffrey B. West, John W. Pepper
Understanding the cross-species behavior of cancer is important for uncovering fundamental mechanisms of carcinogenesis, and for translating results of model systems between specie…
The thermodynamic efficiency of computations made in cells across the range of life
Christopher P. Kempes, David Wolpert, Zachary Cohen +1
Biological organisms must perform computation as they grow, reproduce, and evolve. Moreover, ever since Landauer's bound was proposed it has been known that all computation has som…
