Biofilms are a ubiquitous form of bacterial community. Within biofilms, bacteria communicate via chemical signals in a process called quorum sensing (QS). However, if signal production is ...

Regulation of molecular transport via intercellular channels called plasmodesmata (PDs) is important for both coordinating developmental and environmental responses among neighbouring cells, and ...

Cells called neurons in the brain communicate by triggering or inhibiting electrical activity in other neurons. To inhibit electrical activity, a signal from one neuron usually triggers specific ...

We consider a class of neural circuit models with internal noise sources arising in sensory systems. The basic neuron model in these circuits consists of a dendritic stimulus processor (DSP) cascaded ...

We tested this theoretical linkage between plant and atmospheric evolution on geological time scales by compiling and analyzing an extensive dataset of 300 leaf fossil species from Devonian and ...
