Some phenotypic properties in bacteria exhibit universal statistics, with distributions
collapsing under scaling. The extent and origins of such universality are not well …

Unlike many single-celled organisms, the growth of fission yeast cells within a cell cycle is
not exponential. It is rather characterized by three distinct phases (elongation, septation, and …

Bacterial division is an inherently stochastic process with effects on fluctuations of protein
concentration and phenotype variability. Current modeling tools for the stochastic short-term …

Classic models of cell size control consider that cells divide when reaching a threshold, eg,
size, age, or size extension. The molecular basis of the threshold involves multiple layers of …

Recently, there has been an increasing need for tools to simulate cell size regulation due to
important applications in cell proliferation and gene expression. However, implementing the …

We consider a protein that negatively regulates the rate with which a cell grows. Since less
growth means less protein dilution, this mechanism forms a positive feedback loop on the …

Intracellular reaction rates depend on concentrations and hence their levels are often
regulated. However classical models of stochastic gene expression lack a cell size …

Exponentially growing cells regulate their size by controlling their timing of division. Since
two daughter cells are born as a result of this cell splitting, cell size regulation has a direct …

The cycle current is a crucial quantity in stochastic thermodynamics. The absolute and net
cycle currents of a Markovian system can be defined in the loop-erased (LE) or spanning …

We study the stochastic thermodynamics of cell growth and division using a theoretical
framework based on branching processes with resetting. Cell division may be split into two …
