## Abstract

We consider two volume-surface reaction-diffusion systems arising from cell biology. The first system describes the localisation of the protein Lgl in the asymmetric division of Drosophila SOP stem cells, while the second system models the JAK2/STAT5 signalling pathway. Both model systems have in common that i) different species are located in different spatial compartments, ii) the involved chemical reaction kinetics between the species satisfies a complex balance condition and iii) that the associated complex balance equilibrium is spatially inhomogeneous. By using recent advances on the entropy method for complex balanced reaction-diffusion systems, we show for both systems exponential convergence to the equilibrium with constants and rates, which can be explicitly estimated.

## Recorded benchmark results

A research result applies to its stated dataset, split, metric and evaluation configuration. Compare like-for-like settings, preserve the metric's unit and direction, and distinguish paper-reported results from independent reproduction. The best result recorded here is not a claim of exhaustive, current global coverage.
