The paper measures dynamic attractant gradients in bacteria and shows the Patlak-Keller-Segel model fails at high cell densities, proposing an improved model that accounts for cell density effects.

The paper shows that bacterial populations non-genetically adapt their phenotype composition during migration to enhance growth in new environments.

This study quantifies how information limits E. coli chemotaxis performance, finding that cells operate near theoretical efficiency despite using less than 1 bit of information.

The paper studies how clonal Escherichia coli cells maintain collective migration despite individual differences in chemotactic ability through spontaneous spatial sorting within the moving band.
