Cellular decisions rely upon a cell making some measurement of its surroundings and then regulating its behaviour based on this measurement. For many cellular processes this decision is regulated by the transcriptional output of a gene which is...

In all multicellular organisms one can find examples where a growing tissue divides up until some final fixed cell number ( e.g. in the worm C. elegans there are just 302 neurons). In most of these examples a cell divides asymmetrically where after...

In many bacteria, the segregation of their DNA is actively transported by a two protein system. One of the proteins acts as a substrate and binds to DNA in an ATP bound form, while the other stimulates its phosphatase activity, causing it to unbind...
