BACTERIAL colonies must often cope with unfavourable environmental conditions 1,2 . To
do so, they have developed sophisticated modes of cooperative behaviour 3–10 . It has been …

Crystal growth under non-equilibrium conditions can give rise to complex patterns which are
generically similar to those found in processes such as viscous fingering, aggregation and …

We present a study of interfacial pattern formation during diffusion-limited growth of Bacillus
subtilis. It is demonstrated that bacterial colonies can develop patterns similar to …

During colonial development, bacteria generate a wealth of patterns, some of which are
reminiscent of those occurring in abiotic systems. They can exhibit rich behaviour, reflecting …

▪ Abstract In nature, bacteria must often cope with difficult environmental conditions. To do
so they have developed sophisticated cooperative behavior and intricate communication …

Forward and backward transitions between epithelial and mesenchymal phenotypes play
crucial roles in embryonic development and tissue repair. Aberrantly regulated transitions are …

A simple model with a novel type of dynamics is introduced in order to investigate the emergence
of self-ordered motion in systems of particles with biologically motivated interaction. In …

Bacteria have developed intricate communication capabilities (eg quorum-sensing, chemotactic
signaling and plasmid exchange) to cooperatively self-organize into highly structured …
