Cells measure a vast variety of signals, from their environment's stiffness to chemical
concentrations and gradients; physical principles strongly limit how accurately they can do …

We have selected five evolutionary very different biological systems ranging from unicellular
protists via algae and higher plants to human cells showing responses to the gravity vector …

This third edition offers a comprehensive overview of the latest theories on flow, transport,
and heat-exchange processes in porous media. It also details sophisticated porous media …

The study of how cells interact to produce tissue development, homeostasis, or diseases
was, until recently, almost purely experimental. Now, multi-cell computer simulation …

Selection can favor reproductive altruism if an altruism allele aids copies of itself by hel**
relatives. The alternative “greenbeard” mechanism, in which an allele directly recognizes …

When individual amoebae of the cellular slime mold Dictyostelium discoideum are starving,
they aggregate to form a multicellular migrating slug, which moves toward a region suitable …

In vitro studies have shown that cells become more prone to collective migration when they
are confined onto micropatterned surfaces (Vedula et al., 2012; Doxzen et al., 2013; Leong …

Differential cell adhesion, mediated by eg integrin and cadherins/catenines, plays an
important role in morphogenesis and it has been shown that there is intimate cross-talk …

Computing in Nonlinear Media and Automata Collectives presents an account of new ways
to design massively parallel computing devices in advanced mathematical models, such as …

We discuss two different types of Cellular Automata (CA): lattice-gas-based cellular
automata (LGCA) and the cellular Potts model (CPM), and describe their applications in …
