Recent advances in single-cell technologies have enabled time-resolved measurements of
the cell size over several cell cycles. These data encode information on how cells correct …

We derive analytical steady-state cell size distributions for size-controlled cells in single-
lineage experiments, such as the mother machine, which are fundamentally different from …

Growth pervades all areas of life from single cells to cell populations to tissues. Cell size
often fluctuates significantly from cell to cell and from generation to generation. Here we …

Background How small, fast-growing bacteria ensure tight cell-size distributions remains
elusive. High-throughput measurement techniques have propelled efforts to build modeling …

Most microorganisms regulate their cell size. In this article, we review some of the
mathematical formulations of the problem of cell size regulation. We focus on coarse …

Most cell types living in a stable environment tend to keep a constant characteristic size over
successive generations. Size homeostasis requires that cells exert a tight control over the …

How cells control their size and maintain size homeostasis is a fundamental open question.
Cell-size homeostasis has been discussed in the context of two major paradigms:" sizer," in …

Under ideal conditions, Escherichia coli cells divide after adding a fixed cell size, a strategy
known as the adder. This concept applies to various microbes and is often explained as the …

Despite decades of research, how mammalian cell size is controlled remains unclear
because of the difficulty of directly measuring growth at the single-cell level. Here we report …

Fundamental mechanisms governing cell size control and homeostasis are still poorly
understood. The relationship between sizes at division and birth in single cells is used as a …
