Experiments in recent years have vividly demonstrated that
the membrane is a highly heterogenous environment. A key
example is the partitioning or clustering of proteins via
lipid domain formation or cytoskeleton-induced corralling.
In this talk, I will show using theory and computer
simulations that protein clustering can enhance biochemical
information transmission by removing...

It has been recently proposed that competitive endogenous
RNAs (ceRNAs) sequester microRNAs to regulate mRNA
transcripts containing common microRNA recognition elements
(MREs). The ceRNA hypothesis stems from the observation that
RNA transcripts can communicate with each other through a
recently discovered mechanism. MicroRNAs are tiny snippets
of RNA (~22nt long) which negatively...
