Let there be multifunctionality: Uncovering the dynamical zoo of the AC-DC genetic circuit

Small gene regulatory circuits can encode a surprising diversity of dynamical behaviors. A biophysical model of the AC-DC motif reveals over thirty distinct bifurcation structures and shows how molecu...

Did you think that small gene regulatory networks are only capable of very simple dynamics? Guess again! Even very simple networks are capable of a rich dynamics. Check out our brand new review paper: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... @perez-carrasco.bsky.social

Small gene regulatory networks (GRNs) are well-established biological modules that underpin cellular decisions and dynamical function. Their theoretic…

This issue could not have been possible without all of the fantastic contributions of all authors and reviewers, and obviously @royalsociety.org #biophysics #FluidDynamics

Thank you to the Warwick Medical School for hosting the "Bridging mechanics and genetics in early development" workshop. Thank you especially for selecting my talk on AC-DC circuits for the "Best Talk" runner up award! There were so many excellent talks and I am honoured to be selected as runner up

Another day, another funky gene regulatory network behaviour! In our latest paper, we show how the mushroom bifurcation can encode an ultra-long biochemical timer. Even more interestingly, extrinsic noise can be used to improve timing precision! 🤯 @mathsmaret.bsky.social @josepsardanyes.bsky.social

Local nearby bifurcations lead to synergies in critical slowing down: The case of mushroom bifurcations

The behavior of nonlinear systems near critical transitions has significant implications for stability, transients, and resilience in complex systems. Transient times, $\ensuremath{\tau}$, become extr...
