The model of local axon homeostasis-explaining the role and regulation of microtubule bundles in axon maintenance and pathology
Axons are the slender, cable-like, up to meter-long projections of neurons that electrically
wire our brains and bodies. In spite of their challenging morphology, they usually need to be …

Collective excitations in jammed states: ultrafast defect propagation and finite-size scaling
In crowded systems, particle currents can be mediated by propagating collective excitations
which are generated as rare events, are localized, and have a finite lifetime. The theoretical …

Interplay of reservoirs in a bidirectional system
Motivated by the interplay of multiple species in several real world transport processes, we
propose a bidirectional totally asymmetric simple exclusion process with two finite particle …
