9/ The observed patterns matched our model, and their parameters place these systems near the predicted optimal filtering regime -- These NPCs may act as efficient spatial thresholding filters! #Microscopy #QuantBio #Microtubules #UExM

7/ Surprisingly (and excitingly!), when we analysed real biological systems from the literature, their particle parameters often fell within these optimal regions, suggesting that cells might indeed be taking advantage of this mechanism! #EvoDevo #Biophysics

3/ We found that when surface-associated particles (e.g., proteins) repel each other and interact with nearby structures, their density exhibits a nonlinear, sigmoidal response to spatial features in the environment.

🧵 🧪 1/ Hi! I’m excited to share our latest work, now on arXiv:
Repulsive particle interactions at cellular interfaces enable selective information processing (arxiv.org/abs/2506.14739)
Where we explore how the physical properties of living systems can help cells process spatial information.
