A trade-off in controlling upstream and downstream noise in signaling networks

The paper investigates the trade-off between upstream and downstream noise in signaling networks, showing that longer timescales buffer upstream noise but accumulate downstream noise, confirmed in biological systems.

Yeast cells under glucose-limitation environment need increased response cost for osmostress defense

The paper shows that yeast cells under glucose-limitation need more response cost for osmostress defense, even with unchanged growth rates.

Quantifying temperature compensation of Bicoid gradients with a fast T-tunable microfluidic device

The paper quantifies temperature compensation of the Bicoid gradient in fly embryos using a microfluidic device and mathematical modeling, showing stronger compensation in later developmental stages.
