Presynaptic plasticity in simulated neural networks with a simple biologically plausible learning rule improves metabolic efficiency and lifelong learning capabilities.

Stochasticity introduced computationally into a gene expression oscillator creates heterogeneity in the time of differentiation of identical cells and offers robustness to the progenitor state and the outcome of cell division.

Early IFN-I response dynamics are initiated in only fractions of cells, of which their epigenetic profile is transiently heritable and subject to the effects of quorum sensing.

An analysis of within-host bacterial proliferation reveals that minor "stochastic" variation in the ability of the innate immune response to control bacterial growth early on can result in either survival or death of the host.

How gene expression noise is regulated is critical for cell fate and tissue patterning.

Zebrafish implement a stochastic recursive algorithm during prey capture that reflects an implicit physical model of the world.

Fluctuations in the availability of particles for binding can completely jeopardize yield in heterogeneous self-assembly.

Single-cell mRNA sequencing shows that the impact of infection with influenza virus varies dramatically from one cell to another.

The sooner the immune system launches, the greater the chances the host has of survival.
