      abstract = {Cell signaling is essential for individual cells to  execute various tasks and respond to changes in  their
environment. It is carried out via diffusing  molecules, whose transport is often aided by directional  advection.
How diffusion and advection together impact the  accuracy of information transmission during signaling  remains
poorly understood. Here, we study this problem  using a simplified model of signal transport in the  presence and
absence of crowding. Mutual information, our  measure of accuracy, shows three distinct regimes  characterized
by power-law decay. Surprisingly, crowding  has no measurable effect on information transmission. Our  results
provide several important insights into the role of  transport in cell signaling.},
