How are individual cell behaviors coordinated toward invariant large-scale anatomical
outcomes in development and regeneration despite unpredictable perturbations …

All cellular membranes have the functionality of generating and maintaining the gradients of
electrical and electrochemical potentials. Such potentials were generally thought to be an …

Synthetic biology and bioengineering provide the opportunity to create novel embodied
cognitive systems (otherwise known as minds) in a very wide variety of chimeric …

How do growing bacterial colonies get their shapes? While colony morphogenesis is well
studied in two dimensions, many bacteria grow as large colonies in three-dimensional (3D) …

The dormant state of bacterial spores is generally thought to be devoid of biological activity.
We show that despite continued dormancy, spores can integrate environmental signals over …

Over the past two decades percolation theory has been used to explain and model a wide
variety of phenomena that are of industrial and scientific importance. Examples include …

Membrane-potential dynamics mediate bacterial electrical signaling at both intra-and
intercellular levels. Membrane potential is also central to cellular proliferation. It is unclear …

Central to the study of cognition is being able to specify the Subject that is making decisions
and owning memories and preferences. However, all real cognitive agents are made of …

A defining feature of biology is the use of a multiscale architecture, ranging from molecular
networks to cells, tissues, organs, whole bodies, and swarms. Crucially however, biology is …

Tissue morphogenesis in multicellular organisms is brought about by spatiotemporal
coordination of mechanical and chemical signals. Extensive work on how mechanical forces …
