The problem of reconstructing nonlinear and complex dynamical systems from measured
data or time series is central to many scientific disciplines including physical, biological …

The segmentation clock is an oscillating genetic network thought to govern the rhythmic and
sequential subdivision of the elongating body axis of the vertebrate embryo into somites: the …

Cell-to-cell variability of gene expression in clonal populations of mammalian cells is
ubiquitous. However, because molecular biologists habitually assume uniformity of the cell …

Biologists have long recognized that dramatic bending of a cell sheet may be driven by even
modest shrinking of the apical sides of cells. Cell shape changes and tissue movements like …

The theory of branching processes is an area of mathematics that describes situations in
which an entity exists for a time and then may be replaced by one, two, or more entities of a …

Development, homeostasis and regeneration of tissues result from a complex combination
of genetics and mechanics, and progresses in the former have been quicker than in the …

Exposure to a variety of toxins and/or infectious agents leads to disease, degeneration and
death, often characterised by circumstances in which cells or tissues do not merely die and …

Despite their overwhelming complexity, living cells display a high degree of internal
mechanical and functional organization which can largely be attributed to the intracellular …

We present the Real-time Accurate Cell-shape Extractor (RACE), a high-throughput image
analysis framework for automated three-dimensional cell segmentation in large-scale …

The formation and maintenance of boundaries between neighbouring groups of embryonic
cells is vital for development because groups of cells with distinct functions must often be …
