This review examines intermittent target search strategies, which combine phases of slow
motion, allowing the searcher to detect the target, and phases of fast motion during which …

… by optical density (OD 600 )) and stored at 4 C for up to three weeks. As a quality control, each
… 300 ml LB and incubating over night at 37 C with aeration. Vaccine lots were released for …

… Importantly, the diffusion coefficient does not change significantly for [NaCl] between 10 and
20 mM (Figure 5C), which confirms that our measurement of D 1 performed at low [NaCl] is …

Immunology research in the last 50 years has made huge progress in understanding the
mechanisms of anti‐bacterial defense of deep, normally sterile, tissues such as blood, spleen …

The cell cytoskeleton is a striking example of an ‘active’ medium driven out-of-equilibrium
by ATP hydrolysis 1 . Such activity has been shown to have a spectacular impact on the …

Lévy flights are known to be optimal search strategies in the particular case of revisitable
targets. In the relevant situation of nonrevisitable targets, we propose an alternative model of …

… S3, B and C), this suggests that phage transfer is boosted in vivo by SOS-inducing
compounds, including, but not restricted to, reactive oxygen species, nitrogen species, and …

We present an exact calculation of the mean first-passage time to a small target on the
surface of a 2D or 3D spherical domain, for a molecule performing surface-mediated diffusion. …

Facilitated diffusion of DNA-binding proteins is known to speed up target site location by
combining three dimensional excursions and linear diffusion along the DNA. Here we explicitly …

We present an exact calculation of the mean first-passage time to a target on the surface of
a 2D or 3D spherical domain, for a molecule alternating phases of surface diffusion on the …
