Trade-offs between cost and information in cellular prediction

The paper shows that cellular networks can approach predictive information bounds for specific signal types but face trade-offs between information gain and cost, with implications for bacterial chemotaxis.

Modeling and mechanical perturbations reveal how spatially regulated anchorage gives rise to spatially distinct mechanics across the mammalian spindle

The paper models k-fiber anchorage in mammalian spindles and shows that spatially regulated anchorage creates distinct mechanical behaviors.

Motor processivity and speed determine structure and dynamics of microtubule-motor assemblies

The paper investigates how motor protein properties affect microtubule assembly dynamics and structure, showing that motor speed and processivity determine aster size and contraction rates.

Proofreading through spatial gradients

This paper proposes a spatial gradient-based error correction mechanism that enhances specificity without requiring dedicated structural features, and quantifies its performance limitations.

Combinatorial Control through Allostery

This study develops a statistical mechanical model to analyze how allosteric molecules can implement different Boolean logic gates and ratiometric sensing based on the MWC model.
