    Modelling the contribution of the hypnozoite reservoir to Plasmodium vivax transmission

    Michael T White, Stephan Karl ... Azra C Ghani
    Mathematical models of the build-up and depletion of the hypnozoite reservoir in the liver can inform the design of treatment strategies for preventing Plasmodium vivax relapse infections.

    RETRACTED: A mathematical model explains saturating axon guidance responses to molecular gradients

    Huyen Nguyen, Peter Dayan ... Geoffrey J Goodhill
    Mathematical modelling explains why molecular gradients sometimes cause axons to only turn weakly.

    Dynamic fibronectin assembly and remodeling by leader neural crest cells prevents jamming in collective cell migration

    William Duncan Martinson, Rebecca McLennan ... Philip K Maini
    Data-driven mathematical modeling suggests that leading neural crest cells in a moving stream can robustly communicate with trailing cells by remodeling their extracellular matrix, thereby enabling long-distance collective migration.

    Optogenetic control shows that kinetic proofreading regulates the activity of the T cell receptor

    O Sascha Yousefi, Matthias Günther ... Wolfgang WA Schamel
    Controlling the duration of ligand binding to the T cell receptor by light shows that T cells discriminate stimulatory from non-stimulatory ligands by measuring the dynamics of ligand binding.

    Multiple preferred escape trajectories are explained by a geometric model incorporating prey’s turn and predator attack endpoint

    Yuuki Kawabata, Hideyuki Akada ... Paolo Domenici
    The mathematical model incorporating new parameters explains multimodal distributions in escape direction (i.e., multiple preferred escape trajectories), which are previously observed in various animal taxa.

    Metabolic constraints drive self-organization of specialized cell groups

    Sriram Varahan, Adhish Walvekar ... Sunil Laxman
    In a developing yeast colony, cells go from homogeneous states to spatially organized, specialized metabolic states, and the new metabolic states depend on resources produced by the original state.
