Collective motion of chemotactic bacteria as E. Coli relies, at the individual level, on a continuous reorientation by runs and tumbles. It has been established that the length of run is decided by a stiff response to a temporal sensingof…
Multicellular chemotaxis can occur via individually chemotaxing cells that are mechanically coupled. Alternatively, it can emerge collectively, from cells chemotaxing differently in a group than they would individually. Here we consider…
A generically observed mechanism that drives the self-organization of living systems is interaction via chemical signals among the individual elements -- which may represent cells, bacteria, or even enzymes. Here we propose a novel…
In this paper, we propose a kinetic model describing the collective motion by chemotaxis of two species in interaction emitting the same chemoattractant. Such model can be seen as a generalisation to several species of the Othmer-Dunbar-Alt…
We present a so-called adaptive Ising model (AIM) to provide a unifying explanation for sensitivity and perfect adaptation in bacterial chemotactic signalling, based on coupling among receptor dimers. In an AIM, an external field,…
We consider two-dimensional versions of the Keller--Segel model for the chemotaxis with either classical (Brownian) or fractional (anomalous) diffusion. Criteria for blowup of solutions in terms of suitable Morrey spaces norms are derived.…
In this paper we consider the zero-flux chemotaxis-system \begin{equation*} \begin{cases} u_{t}=\Delta u-\nabla \cdot (u \chi(v)\nabla v) & \textrm{in}\quad \Omega\times (0,\infty), \\ 0=\Delta v-v+g(u) & \textrm{in}\quad \Omega\times…
We consider the Keller-Segel system with a volume-filling effect and study its incompressible limit. Due to the presence of logistic-type sensitivity, $K=1$ is the critical threshold. When $K>1$, as the diffusion exponent tends to infinity,…
The main objective of this article is to study the dynamic transition and pattern formation for chemotactic systems modeled by the Keller-Segel equations. We study chemotactic systems with either rich or moderated stimulant supplies. For…
Chemical signaling is one of the ubiquitous mechanisms by which inter-cellular communication takes place at the microscopic level, particularly via chemotaxis. Such multi-cellular systems are popularly studied using continuum, mean-field…
Single eukaryotic cells commonly sense and follow chemical gradients, performing chemotaxis. Recent experiments and theories, however, show that even when single cells do not chemotax, clusters of cells may, if their interactions are…
A wide array of biological systems can navigate in shallow gradients of chemoattractant with remarkable precision. Whilst previous approaches model such systems using coarse-grained chemical density profiles, we construct a dynamical model…
We study some zero-flux attraction-repulsion chemotaxis models, with nonlinear production rates for the chemorepellent and the chemoattractant. This paper partially improves some known results in the literature and moreover solves an open…
We study the solutions of the two-dimensional Keller-Segel system describing chemotaxis. The Keller-Segel system as well as the properties of the blow-up set has been extensively studied. In this paper we obtain generalized solutions for…
Chemotaxis and reactions are fundamental processes in biology, often intricately intertwined. Chemotaxis, in particular, can be crucial in maintaining and accelerating a reaction. In this work, we extend the investigation initiated by…
This paper studies the controllability for a Keller-Segel type chemotaxis model with singular sensitivity. Based on the Hopf-Cole transformation, a nonlinear parabolic system, which has first-order couplings, and the coupling coefficients…
Robustness and sensitivity of responses generated by cell signaling networks has been associated with survival and evolvability of organisms. However, existing methods analyzing robustness and sensitivity of signaling networks ignore the…
Autologous chemotaxis, in which cells secrete and detect molecules to determine the direction of fluid flow, is thwarted at high cell density because molecules from other cells interfere with a given cell's signal. Using a minimal model of…
Chemotaxis allows single cells to self-organize at the population level, as classically described by Keller-Segel models. We show that chemotactic aggregation can be understood using a generalized Maxwell construction based on the balance…
It is known that in two dimensions the classical Keller-Segel model can lead to cell aggregation. This behavior can be controlled by adding a logistic growth term with quadratic decay. Researchers have tried to find weaker damping…
