Formation of morphogenetic patterns in cellular automata
Manan'Iarivo Rasolonjanahary, Bakhtier Vasiev
One of the most important problems in contemporary science, and especially in biology, is to reveal mechanisms of pattern formation. On the level of biological tissues, patterns fo…
Temperature expressions and ergodicity of the Nosé-Hoover deterministic schemes
A. Samoletov, B. Vasiev
Thermostats are dynamic equations used to model thermodynamic variables in molecular dynamics. The applicability of thermostats is based on the ergodic hypothesis. The most commonl…
Toxin-mediated competition in weakly motile bacteria
Andrew D. Dean, Malcolm J. Horsburgh, Bakhti Vasiev
Many bacterial species produce toxins that inhibit their competitors. We model this phenomenon by extending classic two-species Lotka-Volterra competition in one spatial dimension…
Universal statistics of epithelial tissue topology
Abdulaziz Abdullah, Demetris Avraam, Oleksandr Chepizhko +4
Cells forming various epithelial tissues have a strikingly universal distribution for the number of their edges. It is generally assumed that this topological feature is predefined…
