The paper identifies cell aggregation as a key factor limiting the scaling of patterns in cell collectives and shows how system size affects pattern formation timing.

The paper examines temperature scaling in the early embryonic cell cycle across multiple species, finding similar activation energies and explaining deviations using computational models and experimental data.

This paper compares time-delayed negative feedback mechanisms in biochemical oscillators, showing how different feedback models impose distinct constraints on production and degradation rates for oscillations.

The paper introduces a modular approach to model the cell cycle using functional response curves, demonstrating how ultrasensitive responses, S-shaped responses, and time delays can be combined to capture bistable behavior and cell cycle dynamics.

The paper shows how dynamically changing bistable switches improve control and robustness of cell cycle transitions by modeling mitotic entry with time-dependent bistability.
