Inspired by nature, molecular communications (MC), ie, the use of molecules to encode,
transmit, and receive information, stands as the most promising communication paradigm to …

The movement of microorganisms is not only an essential aspect of life, it also serves as a
fruitful model for the development of synthetic microswimmers or microrobots with potential …

One of the major challenges in modern biology is to understand how the molecular
components of a living cell operate in a highly noisy environment. What are the specific …

Brownian clocks are biomolecular networks that can count time. A paradigmatic example are
proteins that go through a cycle, thus regulating some oscillatory behavior in a living system …

How transcriptional bursting relates to gene regulation is a central question that has
persisted for more than a decade. Here, we measure nascent transcriptional activity in early …

Neural crest (NC) cell migration is crucial to the formation of peripheral tissues during
vertebrate development. However, how NC cells respond to different microenvironments to …

Living cells deploy many resources to sense their environments, including receptors,
downstream signaling molecules, time, and fuel. However, it is not known which resources …

In recent years experiments have demonstrated that living cells can measure low chemical
concentrations with high precision, and much progress has been made in understanding …

Biological and living organisms sense and process information from their surroundings,
typically having access only to a subset of external observables for a limited amount of time …

To measure chemical concentrations, cells need to extract information from stochastic
receptor signals via signaling networks which are also inherently stochastic. Here, we study …
