@JuliaEckert10 Based on these geometric properties and assuming that forces are balanced in equilibrium, the Force Inference technique can be used to study mechanical properties of cells in tissues.
The fact that every protein can potentially associate with many others leads to an explosion of combinatorial possibilities that is exceedingly difficult to represent in diagrammatic form. Attempts to do so result in horror graphs where everything does everything to everything/10

Two very particular patterns of random movement — Brownian motion and Lévy walks — describe a great many physical phenomena. Recent data hint that Lévy walks may be a default movement pattern for many animal species. quantamagazine.org/random-search-…
