Near-critical gene expression in embryonic boundary precision
Michael Vennettilli, Krishna P. Ramachandran, Andrew Mugler
Embryonic development relies on the formation of sharp, precise gene expression boundaries. In the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster, boundary formation has been proposed to occur…
Flexibility in noisy cell-to-cell information dynamics
Ismail Qunbar, Michael Vennettilli, Amir Erez
Exchange of molecules allows cells to exchange information. How robust is the information to changes in cell parameters? We use a mapping between the stochastic dynamics of two cel…
Autologous chemotaxis at high cell density
Michael Vennettilli, Louis Gonzalez, Nicholas Hilgert +1
Autologous chemotaxis, in which cells secrete and detect molecules to determine the direction of fluid flow, is thwarted at high cell density because molecules from other cells int…
Precision of protein thermometry
Michael Vennettilli, Soutick Saha, Ushasi Roy +1
Temperature sensing is a ubiquitous cell behavior, but the fundamental limits to the precision of temperature sensing are poorly understood. Unlike in chemical concentration sensin…
Multicellular sensing at a feedback-induced critical point
Michael Vennettilli, Amir Erez, Andrew Mugler
Feedback in sensory biochemical networks can give rise to bifurcations in cells' behavioral response. These bifurcations share many properties with thermodynamic critical points. E…
Precision of flow sensing by self-communicating cells
Sean Fancher, Michael Vennettilli, Nicholas Hilgert +1
Metastatic cancer cells detect the direction of lymphatic flow by self-communication: they secrete and detect a chemical which, due to the flow, returns to the cell surface anisotr…
