Geometry shapes cell signaling network output.
Through live cell imaging and computational modeling, Neves et al. (2008) demonstrate that molecular interactions alone are insufficient to explain the patterns of MAPK activation: a model must include the cell morphology and spatial distribution of signaling molecules.
