Histogram of fluorescence intensities per area, obtained from analysis of many such images (…

A spatial model predicts that dispersal and cell turnover limit intratumour heterogeneity

B Waclaw, I Bozic, ME Pittman, RH Hruban… - Nature, 2015 - nature.com
… A cell with no cancer cell neighbours replicates at the maximal rate of b = ln(2) = 0.69 days
−1 , in which b denotes the initial birth rate, equivalent to 24 h cell-doubling time, and a cell …

Spectrum of the product of independent random Gaussian matrices

Z Burda, RA Janik, B Waclaw - Physical Review E, 2010 - APS
We show that the eigenvalue density of a product X= X 1 X 2⋯ XM of M independent N× N
Gaussian random matrices in the limit N→∞ is rotationally symmetric in the complex plane …

Localization of the maximal entropy random walk

Z Burda, J Duda, JM Luck, B Waclaw - Physical review letters, 2009 - APS
We define a new class of random walk processes which maximize entropy. This maximal
entropy random walk is equivalent to generic random walk if it takes place on a regular lattice, …

Mechanically driven growth of quasi-two-dimensional microbial colonies

FDC Farrell, O Hallatschek, D Marenduzzo, B Waclaw - Physical review letters, 2013 - APS
We study colonies of nonmotile, rod-shaped bacteria growing on solid substrates. In our
model, bacteria interact purely mechanically, by pushing each other away as they grow, and …

Mutational pathway determines whether drug gradients accelerate evolution of drug-resistant cells

P Greulich, B Waclaw, RJ Allen - Physical review letters, 2012 - APS
… Cells migrate between microhabitats i and i Æ 1 at rate b=2 and die at a fixed rate d; the … 1
