A mathematical modelling approach to understanding zebrafish stripe pattern formation exemplifies a biological rule-set sufficient to generate wild-type and a diverse range of mutant patterns.

Undulatory animals moving on the surface must manage material memory by either having a slender anatomy that facilitates avoiding previously remodeled substrate, or using waveshapes that effectively utilize the memory.

A theory is presented for the optimal design of cellular sensing systems that maximizes the sensing precision given resource constraints.

Spontaneous growth arrest of transformed melanocytes (resulting in benign “moles”) does not result from cell-autonomous oncogene-induced senescence, but can be explained by collective mechanisms used in normal tissue size control.

Genetic modulation in patterns of tissue conflict play a major role in the development and evolution of shape diversity.

Validated mathematical relationships between motoneuron morphometric and electrophysiological properties are provided as a tool for neuroscientists and modellers to generate hypotheses for experimental studies investigating currently unreported relationships and build virtual motoneuron profiles with consistent properties for modelling purposes.

Human ferritin light chain (FTL) mRNA translation is regulated via its 5'-untranslated region (5'-UTR) by three mechanisms: RNA folding, iron response protein binding, and eukaryotic translation initiation factor eIF3 binding.

The principle underlying the appearance of the growth plate, an organ responsible for longitudinal growth, has implications for various cartilage pathologies including growth abnormalities in children, trauma and osteoarthritis.

Mathematical modelling suggests that the evolution of communication between bacterial viruses requires repeated outbreak events, and the model then predicts typical communication strategies.

Neutral tagging and detailed analysis of bacterial growth kinetics can quantify the mechanisms of colonization resistance in differently colonized animals.
