Fundamental Limits to the Precision of Multicellular Sensing
27 Jun 2017 | | Contributor(s):: Andrew Mugler
Here we address, with both theory and experiments, whether cell-cell communication improves concentration- and gradient-sensing precision. We develop a minimal model of collective sensing by cells that communicate via juxtacrine signaling, in which a small molecule is exchanged between...

Geometry of Diffusion and the Performance Limits of Nanobiosensors
05 Dec 2006 | | Contributor(s):: Muhammad A. Alam, Pradeep Ramachandran Nair
This presentation demonstrates how the classical diffusion-capture (D-C) model has improved sensor performance, since the D-C model is a "geometry of diffusion" rather than a "geometry of electrostatics." A scaling law based on D-C is also posited; the scaling law resolves many classical puzzles...

High-Aspect-Ratio Micromachining of Titanium: Enabling New Functionality and Opportunity in Micromechanical Systems Through Greater Materials Selection
09 Apr 2007 | | Contributor(s):: Masa Rao
Traditionally, materials selection has been limited in high-aspect-ratio micromechanical applications, due primarily to the predominance of microfabrication processes and infrastructure dedicated to silicon. While silicon has proven to be an excellent material for many of these applications, no...

How Simple Cell-Cell Interactions Lead to Complex Multicellular Dynamics
04 Feb 2021 | | Contributor(s):: Paul Macklin
In this talk, we use agent-based simulation models to simulate (1) individual cell behaviors, (2) cell-cell interactions, and (3) cell-environment interactions to show how simple rules can give rise to complex multicellular phenomena. We showcase and explore free, interactive online tools to...

Hydration Dynamics in an Amphiphilic Nanostructure under Controlled Hydration Conditions
16 Sep 2008 | | Contributor(s):: Amitabha Chattopadhyay
Amphiphilic surfactants self assemble to form reverse (or inverted) micelles in non-polar solvents in which the polar head groups of the surfactant monomers cluster to form a micellar core directed toward the center of the assembly and the hydrophobic tails extend outward into the bulk organic...
