Microorganisms often exhibit a history-dependent phenotypic response after exposure to a stimulus which can be imperative for proper function. However, cells frequently experience unexpected environmental perturbations that might induce phenotypic switching. How cells maintain phenotypic states in the face of environmental fluctuations remains an open question. Here, we use environmental perturbations to characterize the resilience of phenotypic states in a synthetic gene network near a critical transition. We find that far from the critical transition an environmental perturbation may induce little to no phenotypic switching, whereas close to the critical transition the same perturbation can cause many cells to switch phenotypic states. This loss of resilience was observed for perturbations that interact directly with the gene circuit as well as for a variety of generic perturbations-such as salt, ethanol, or temperature shocks-that alter the state of the cell more broadly. We obtain qualitatively similar findings in natural gene circuits, such as the yeast GAL network. Our findings illustrate how phenotypic memory can become destabilized by environmental variability near a critical transition.

This paper addresses some preliminary steps toward the modeling and qualitative analysis of swarms viewed as living complex systems. The approach is based on the methods of kinetic theory and statistical mechanics, where interactions at the microscopic scale are nonlocal, nonlinearly additive and modeled by theoretical tools of stochastic game theory. Collective learning theory can play an important role in the modeling approach. We present a kinetic equation incorporating the Cucker–Smale flocking force and stochastic game theoretic interactions in collision operators. We also present a sufficient framework leading to the asymptotic velocity alignment and global existence of smooth solutions for the proposed kinetic model with a special kernel. Analytic results on the global existence and flocking dynamics are presented, while the last part of the paper looks ahead to research perspectives.
