Cell-sized confinement controls generation and stability of a protein wave for spatiotemporal regulation in cells

The Min system, a system that determines the bacterial cell division plane, uses changes in the localization of proteins (a Min wave) that emerges by reaction-diffusion coupling. Although previous studies have shown that space sizes and boundaries modulate the shape and speed of Min waves, their eff...
