A new agent-based model enables predicting how coral species richness and functional diversity affect the functioning and resilience of coral reef ecosystems.

A computational model of skeletal muscle regeneration reveals complex interplay of cytokines, angiogenesis, and cell behaviors, predicting that synergistic cytokine perturbations enhance skeletal muscle regeneration beyond individual cytokine interventions.

Rather than complex decisions, it is the motion of individuals that allows for collective foraging regulation in ant colonies.

Specification and expansion during rib development is explained by Agent-Based Modeling while respecting the locality of decision-making that occurs as millions of cells coordinate their behavior to form and refine spatial pattern.

Time-varying heterogeneous social activity explains transient suppression of epidemic waves followed by long plateaus and eventual transition towards the endemic state of an emergent pathogen, such as COVID-19.

Electrical signaling is demonstrated in Escherichia coli biofilms.

Cells control signal circulation to set the frequency of information transmitted over tissue scales.

In the microbe Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, a disassembly rate which depends on flagellar length provides an effective method to regulate the length of its two flagella.

3D niche topology imposes a spatially biased random stem cell loss, which is differentially fine-tuned in neural retina and retinal pigmented epithelium to regulate growth, shape, and cellular topology.

Novel modelling strategies can integrate the dynamics of processes regulating the intestinal epithelium at multiple scales in homeostasis and following perturbations to provide unprecedented insights into the biology of the epithelium and support the development of safer novel drug candidates.
