Abstract: We introduce a continuous time stochastic process on strings made of two types of particle, whose dynamics mimics that of microtubules in a living cell. The long term behaviour of the system is described in… read more here.

Abstract: How microtubules transition from depolymerization to polymerization, known as rescue, is poorly understood. Here we examine two models for rescue: 1) an “end-driven” model in which the depolymerizing end stochastically switches to a stable state;… read more here.
