Nobel prize in medicine awarded to scientists for immune system research Mary E Brunkow, Fred Ramsdell and Shimon Sakaguchi worked on how the immune system can be prevented from harming the body

Huge congratulations to this year's winners of the #NobelPrize in Physiology or Medicine: Mary Brunkow, Fred Ramsdell & Shimon Sakaguchi! 🏆The trio's groundbreaking work on peripheral immune tolerance is paving the way for crucial new treatments for cancer & autoimmunity. 🧬

We hosted Reyk Börner today, a postdoc at Institute for Marine and Atmospheric Research Utrecht. He gave a very insightful talk on tipping points in climate, drawing a parallel to metastability in neural systems! @mpinb.mpg.de #theory #dynamicalsystems

thanks @aria-research.bsky.social for highlighting our research on the computational capabilities of single-celled organisms! #protists Watch this space for more exciting developments @lsiexeter.bsky.social

Today and tomorrow we are celebrating the highly impressive career and contribution to Nonlinear Dynamics of Ulrike Feudel, a brilliant scientist and a truly admirable individual! You are and will remain an inspiration, particularly for women in complex science and beyond! #WomenInSTEM

We are ready for the Open Day tomorrow @mpinb.mpg.de ! We will show how learning without brain is possible, you can meet our ciliated friends under the microscope or calculate pi by throwing toothpicks! We are there from 10am-4pm! Looking forward to a science Saturday! 🤓

The final version of our review on biological filaments is out in Philtrans A (w/@jcammann.bsky.social Hannah Laeverenz-Schlogelhofer & Marco Mazza) - we have 417 references!
Enjoy :)

Congrats!!

Join us on Spetember 20th to learn, among other things, what single cells are capable of, see our ciliated lab mates under the microscope and do some fun math experiments! 🤓🤓🤓

A wonderful talk on a topic very close to our hearts 😊 and a day filled with insigthfull discussions with @mariannebauer.bsky.social from TU Delft! Many thanks Marianne!

Complex behaviour is not limited to animals! Here we map the entire spectrum of waveforms dynamics on a quadriflagellate single cell with 4x 70um (!) #cilia, to a low dimensional behavioural manifold with surprising structure! #protistsonsky

All revealed in our new preprint doi.org/10.1101/2025...

It is a true pleasure to take part at this year’s Konstanz school on collective behavior and talk about our theoretical framework of computing with transients.

Time for more "Physics of Behavior" in single-cell settings! @micromotility.bsky.social @koseskalab.bsky.social

Breaking the barrier between theorists and experimentalists Many neuroscience students are steeped in an experiment-first style of thinking. Let’s not forget how theory can guide experiments.

Sam Gershman writes beautifully about how theory-free neuroscience prevents the field from reaching its promise. Beautiful and true. Most folks do not test hypotheses. Running a NHST does not a hypothesis make. www.thetransmitter.org/theoretical-...

Beautiful presentation of the power of physics for understanding behavior from @gjstephens.bsky.social , and a thoroughly insightful chalk-talk on the underlying statistical physics and dynamical systems concepts.

Excited to be part of “Unifying theories in high-dimensional biophyics” symposium @ICTS in Bangalore. Looking forward to learn about novel theoretical descriptions from molecular to behavior of ecologies! @mpinb.mpg.de

This week we had a privilege of hosting Peter Ashwin @exeter.ac.uk who talked about dynamics of RNNs. Thank you for stimulating discussions!

An antidote against the current fantasies of #VirtualCells from Jeremy Gunawardena: www.nature.com/articles/nbt... It is indeed true that what a cell is becomes of little importance in the enterprise, though I would argue that this is out of ignorance. A cell is more than the product of GRNs

We had a privilege to have Chittaranjan Hens from the International Institute of Information Technology, Hyderabad, India, visiting for a day and telling us about the origins of instability in dynamical systems on undirected networks! @mpinb.mpg.de

Hello hello #complexity and #emergence people.

I'm getting a complexity+emergence (broadly defined) starter pack going.

I've focused on active accounts that often make original posts (not just reposts) and have at least a few thousand followers. Inclusion is not endorsement.

Cells use more than signal strength to decide their fate—they "listen" to the tempo of signaling. Check out this work by our Cellular Computations and Learning Lab introducing signaling homeorhesis, a concept where dynamic signal patterns guide cell decisions. #CellSignaling #cellfate

Ciliated teddy bear!

Homeorhetic regulation of cellular phenotype How cells translate growth factor (GF) signals into context-specific phenotypes remains a fundamental question in cell biology. The classical view holds that cells translate a constant concentration o...

We developed the concept of signaling homeorhesis to describe regulation of cell phenotype under dynamic signals, demonstrating that cells actively interpret signals from their environment to determine cell fate! @mpinb.mpg.de
