Abstract: Summary How the opposing activity of kinesin and dynein motors generates polarized distribution of organelles inside cells is poorly understood and hotly debated [1, 2]. Possible explanations include stochastic mechanical competition [3, 4], coordinated regulation… read more here.

Abstract: Consider a coin-tossing sequence, i.e., a sequence of independent variables, taking values 0 and 1 with probability 1/2. The famous Erdős-Rényi law of large numbers implies that the longest run of ones in the first… read more here.
