The official YouTube account of the Erwin Frey Group focuses on statistical and biological physics.

Biophysicists figure out how bacteria form robust patterns despite changing environmental conditions and fluctuating protein concentrations.

Nature Physics - Oscillatory Min protein patterns prevent abnormal bacterial cell division. Now it is shown that Min pattern formation is resource efficient and involves wavelength-invariant...

Mehran Kardar and Yoshiki Kuramoto will be awarded the prestigious Boltzmann Medal during the StatPhys29 Conference in Florence, Italy.

This study introduces RNA origami nanotubes as self-assembling cytoskeleton mimics for synthetic cells. Expressed in vesicles from DNA templates, these RNA structures reach micrometre lengths, deform ...

Confinement of active flows influences chemical signal transport, changing speed by up to a factor of 8, offering insights on biochemical signaling in processes like embryogenesis.
