All living systems develop from individual cell growth and division. It is thus crucial for cells to actively regulate their size and densities. This exquisite control is embodied in the robust scaling laws relating cell size, protein content, and nuclear size. Despite accumulating experimental evidence, the origin of the regulation of these key cellular quantities are poorly understood. Therefore, in this thesis, we study how the interplay between physical constraints and biological processes both leads to the emergence of these scaling laws but also to their disruptions in diseases or under specific perturbations.We first show that these laws and their breakdown can be explained quantitatively by three relatively simple, yet generic, phys...
