Molecular self-organziation, also regarded as pattern formation, is crucial for the correct
distribution of cellular content. The processes leading to spatiotemporal patterns often …

Achieving autonomous motion is a central objective in designing artificial cells that mimic
biological cells in form and function. Cellular motion often involves complex multiprotein …

Self-organized protein patterns are of tremendous importance for biological decision-making
processes. Protein patterns have been shown to identify the site of future cell division …

In spite of their great importance in biology, methods providing access to spontaneous
molecular interactions with and on biological membranes have been sparse. The recent …

Protein patterning is vital for many fundamental cellular processes. This raises two intriguing
questions: Can such intrinsically complex processes be reduced to certain core principles …

Patterns formed by reaction-diffusion mechanisms are crucial for the development or
sustenance of most organisms in nature. Patterns include dynamic waves, but are more …

Min oscillations are a fascinating mechanism used by Escherichia coli to find their middle.
Beyond their biological role, they provide a convenient and relatively unexplored method to …

Biological pattern formation is essential for generating and maintaining spatial structures
from the scale of a single cell to tissues and even collections of organisms. Besides …

The MinDE proteins from E. coli have received great attention as a paradigmatic biological
pattern‐forming system. Recently, it has surfaced that these proteins do not only generate …

Abstract The MinD and MinE proteins of Escherichia coli self-organize into a standing-wave
oscillator on the membrane to help align division at mid-cell. When unleashed from cellular …
