I am happy to share our recent work on the scaling law between mRNA and protein levels, in which we show that, to optimize cell fitness, an optimal scaling emerges with a lower bound of 0.5 on the exponent. For more details, please check our paper in PRL: https://t.co/G5VnBdYEkV
I am excited to share our recent work, which shows that the optimal receptor distribution on a cell surface is precisely the surface charge density on a conductor.

Congratulations to Matthieu Wyart @EPFL_en on receiving the "Physik Preis Dresden 2024", awarded jointly by @tudresden_de and @mpi_pks , for his pioneering contributions to various problems of complex systems!
Our paper is published in PNAS! We show how heterogeneous elasticity changes the scaling of the ripening process and impacts gene expression.

We found that an active force with 0.6 pN magnitude undergoing random orientation can quantitatively reproduce experimental measurements. This observation suggests an emergent simplicity in complex bacterial cytoplasm.
Our recent work on macromolecule diffusion in bacterial cytoplasm is now published:

In this work, we used a coarse-grained simulation to study the speedup of diffusion in bacterial cytoplasm relative to a passive fluid.
Our recent work on the modelling of cell size control is published in PLOS computational biology. In this work, we show that cells can sense the differential size-scaling of protein concentrations to decide the timing of cell division.

With great sadness, we share that theoretical physicist Alberto Sirlin passed away on Wednesday, Feb 23 at age 91.
He joined NYU as an assistant professor in 1959 and retired in 2008, though he remained an active member of the community.
Our recent work about the effects of elasticity on the dissolution of condensates:

1/N Now that I have your attention.. let me say more. What Giorgio taught is that disordered systems are host to an entirely new emergent phase of matter, with WILD properties. This phase is sometimes called a Gardner phase, after ...

A new great authors' summary from the publication:

My first first-author paper is now published in J. Stat. Mech!
A transport approach to relate asymmetric protein segregation and population growth https://t.co/atFMx2jBEZ via @IOPscience
I started a theory project asymmetric protein segregation and its effect on population growth with @jielinphysics in 2017. This is a follow-up paper to our previous paper on PRL in 2019, applying a transport approach developed by @ethan_levien on phenotypic variability.
Our recent paper on stochastic gene expression, which proposes a new method to infer intrinsic and extrinsic noises.
