Several types of active agents self-propel by spinning around their propulsion axis, thus behaving as active screws. Examples include cytoskeletal filaments in gliding assays, magnetically driven coll...

Many active and driven systems exhibit non-reciprocal interactions, making them hard to describe with standard methods. Now a constrained Hamiltonian embedding with auxiliary variables reproduces thes...

By quantifying the information transmitted from receptor to ERK, the study shows that individual cells can resolve graded stimuli, transmitting over 2 bits of information even with brief, sparse input...

The concurrent analysis of two measurements of a biochemical signaling network can provide more information than two separate probes of the datasets.
