The paper explains how stochastic biochemical reaction networks generate heritable short-term cellular memory through molecular concentration variance, with implications for cell fate and environmental responses.

This study evaluates 2A peptides for polycistronic gene expression in Dictyostelium discoideum, finding P2A most effective despite strain-dependent expression reductions.

The paper normalizes five signal relay network models of Dictyostelium discoideum to assess their ability to reproduce observed population and single-cell dynamics, finding that single-cell excitable dynamics and fold-change detection are essential for robust coordination.
