Biological cell is the smallest system in which energy is transformed and information is processed autonomously. This complex and fascinating system is in the far from equilibrium state, and hence can manifest self-excited oscillations. Here we will describe rhythmic locomotion in amoeboid cells, oscillatory responses to chemical stimuli and rhythmic morphogenesis. Their biological and biophysical implications are discussed.
