System-Theoretic Analysis of Extended Cellular Potts Models for Tumor Invasion
The Cellular Potts Model has emerged as a standard framework for modeling multicellular systems and metastatic progression.Fluctuation-dissipation relation in branching particle systems
A fluctuation-dissipation relation (FDR) for branching particle systems is derived that reveals how fluctuations in clonal populations originating from a single ancestor encode both population…Immersed Boundary Electrodiffusion in the Wasserstein Gradient Flow Formalism: Global Well-Posedness, Non-Equilibrium Thermodynamics, and Singular Asymptotics
We introduce a unified optimal transport framework for the Immersed Boundary (IB) electrodiffusion active pump model.Morpheus.AI: agents autonomously generate, execute and refine virtual tissue models
Virtual tissue models link observations to mechanistic hypotheses, but building them demands expertise in biology, mathematics and programming.Kinetics, Proofreading, and the Lifetime of Multivalent Contacts
Selective recognition is how a cell finds the right partner in a crowd and how a drug carrier finds the right cell, so getting it wrong means a missed target or a toxic one.Stationary Action Principles for Neuronal Growth
Neuronal growth is guided by biochemical, mechanical, and geometrical cues while being influenced by stochastic fluctuations in cytoskeletal dynamics, adhesion, and growth cone sensing.Contact-Free Nuclear and Cytoplasmic Mechanophenotyping by Amplitude-Modulated Ultrasound and Phase-Locked Optical Diffraction Tomography: Computational Feasibility and Initial Experimental Readouts
We investigate whether acoustic stimulation combined with phase-locked optical diffraction tomography (ODT) could measure the mechanical responses of the nucleus and cytoplasm separately in adherent…Phenotype-structured nonlocal aggregation models I: signal production and response
Individuals within a cellular or ecological population can exhibit substantial variation in their traits or phenotype.The typical red cell makes too little vacuole material for coalescence to build the large vacuoles of pocked cells
Red blood cells carrying intracellular vacuoles, called pocked cells, are a sensitive marker of splenic function: about 0.5% of cells in healthy people, 20 to 70% after splenectomy.TetraCultures of Neurons, Astrocytes, Oligodendrocytes, and Microglia: A Murine In Vitro Model to Dissect Region-Specific CNS Immune Dynamics
Neuroinflammation and glial scar formation in the central nervous system (CNS) emerge from coordinated signaling between neurons, astrocytes, oligodendrocytes and microglia.Label-free cell counting and viability prediction with brightfield imaging and deep learning
Cell viability assessment is a core requirement in cell culture systems, with critical applications in biopharmaceutical manufacturing and drug development.Multimodal reasoning for broadly neutralizing antibody discovery from label-free human B cell repertoires across virus families
Discovering broadly neutralizing antibodies (bnAbs) from human natural immune repertoires remains a fundamental challenge in immunology, hindered by: the extreme rarity of bnAb, incomplete…Stochastic gradient descent on the epigenetic landscape: a unified framework for cellular plasticity, tumor heterogeneity, and the asymptotic irrelevance of fitness
Phenotypic plasticity, the ability of cells to switch between states, is central to development, differentiation, and therapy resistance.Generalizable single-cell perturbation response prediction using energy-guided flow matching
Predicting phenotypic and transcriptional responses to perturbations at single-cell resolution provides a powerful tool for probing biological systems.Structured Population Models for Follicular Development
Ovarian follicle development has been modeled either by compartmental models, where developmental stages are represented by discrete compartments, or by physiologically structured population models…Entropy-Driven Initiation and Cytoskeletal Viscoelasticity in Endocytosis: An Onsager Variational Framework
Receptor-mediated endocytosis requires a particle to approach the cell membrane to within a few nanometers before ligand--receptor binding can occur.Optical microelectrode arrays for differential readout of electrical and mechanical signals in cardiac cells
Simultaneous assessment of electrical excitation and mechanical contraction is essential for understanding cardiac cell function, yet these two processes are commonly measured with separate…Cell size and confinement drive asymmetric cell division through a cortical instability
Asymmetric cell division -- in which a mother cell divides into two daughter cells of unequal size -- is a fundamental problem in biology.
