Given the biochemical reaction stochasticity, the mechanisms leading to conservation of
biological functions from noise are obscure. Pervasive transcription of nonconserved …

Pericentromeric heterochromatin is mainly composed of satellite DNA sequences. Although
being historically associated with transcriptional repression, some pericentromeric satellite …

Each heartbeat is initiated by specialized pacemaker cells operating within the sinoatrial
node (SAN). While individual cells within SAN tissue exhibit substantial heterogeneity of …

Integrated information theory (IIT) assesses the degree of consciousness in living organisms
from an information-theoretic perspective. This theory can be generalised to other systems …

Spontaneous oscillations on the order of several hertz are the drivers of many crucial
processes in nature. From bacterial swimming to mammal gaits, converting static energy …

Symmetries in a network regulate its organization into functional clustered states. Given a
generic ensemble of nodes and a desirable cluster (or group of clusters), we exploit the …

Noise and disorder are known, in certain circumstances and for certain systems, to improve
the level of coherence over that of the noise-free system. Examples include cases in which …

The analysis of dissipatively coupled oscillators is challenging and highly relevant in power
grids. Standard mathematical methods are not applicable, due to the lack of network …

The synchronization modes of a nonlinear oscillator system consisting of three identical
flickering buoyant diffusion flames in isosceles triangles were studied experimentally and …

We develop a three-state agent-based language competition model that takes into account
the fact that language learning and attrition are not instantaneous but occur over a finite time …
