A fundamental characteristic of living systems is sensing and integrating multi-dimensional sensory signals with memory in order to generate complex self-organized behaviors in continuously changing environments. Using computations on the level of signaling networks in single-cells, we have identified that cells utilize dynamical ghost states as a memory-generating mechanism in order to...
The development of multicellular organisms is a dynamic process in which cells divide, rearrange, and interpret molecular signals to adopt specific cell fates. This results in the emergence of gene expression patterns, that later on give raise to different body parts and organs. We still lack full understanding of how these patterns could emerge in precise and reproducible way during embryonic...
