Bioinspired out-of-equilibrium systems will set the scene for the next generation of molecular
materials with active, adaptive, autonomous, emergent and intelligent behavior. Indeed life …

Non‐equilibrium chemical systems underpin multiple domains of contemporary interest,
including supramolecular chemistry, molecular machines, systems chemistry, prebiotic …

Taxis orientation is common in microorganisms, and it provides feasible strategies to
operate active colloids as small‐scale robots. Collective taxes involve numerous units that …

Many symbiotic relationships rely on the acquisition of microbial partners from the
environment. However, the mechanisms by which microbial symbionts find and colonize …

Stimuli that promote cell migration, such as chemokines, cytokines, and growth factors in
metazoans and cyclic AMP in Dictyostelium, activate signaling pathways that control …

Cells in their in vivo microenvironment constantly encounter and respond to a multitude of
signals. While the role of biochemical signals has long been appreciated, the importance of …

Abstract Phosphatidylinositol 3-kinases (PI3Ks) evolved from a single enzyme that regulates
vesicle trafficking in unicellular eukaryotes into a family of enzymes that regulate cellular …

John Dupré explores recent revolutionary developments in biology and considers their
relevance for our understanding of human nature and human society. Epigenetics and …

One of the major challenges in modern biology is to understand how the molecular
components of a living cell operate in a highly noisy environment. What are the specific …

Cells are inherently sensitive to local mesoscale, microscale, and nanoscale patterns of
chemistry and topography. We review current approaches to control cell behavior through …
