Information homeostasis as a fundamental principle governing the cell division and death [PDF]
, 2011 To express genetic information with minimal error is one of the key functions of a cell. Here we propose an information theory based phenomenological model for the expression of genetic information.

Stem Cells International, 2023 Increasing evidence indicates that quiescent cancer stem cells (CSCs) are a root cause of chemoresistance. SET domain-containing protein 4 (SETD4) epigenetically regulates cell quiescence in breast cancer stem cells (BCSCs), and SETD4-positive BCSCs are ...

Role of homeostasis in learning sparse representations
, 2010 Neurons in the input layer of primary visual cortex in primates develop edge-like receptive fields. One approach to understanding the emergence of this response is to state that neural activity has to efficiently represent sensory data with respect to ...

Cell Growth and Size Homeostasis in Silico [PDF]
, 2013 Cell growth in size is a complex process coordinated by intrinsic and environmental signals. In a recent work [Tzur et al., Science, 2009, 325:167-171], size distributions in an exponentially growing population of mammalian cells were used to infer the ...

Systemic tryptophan homeostasis
Frontiers in Molecular Biosciences, 2022 Tryptophan is an essential amino acid, which is not only a building block for protein synthesis, but also a precursor for the biosynthesis of co-enzymes and neuromodulators, such as NAD/NADP(H), kynurenic acid, melatonin and serotonin. It also plays a role in immune homeostasis, as local tryptophan catabolism impairs T-lymphocyte mediated immunity ...

CaMKII-dependent regulation of cardiac Na(+) homeostasis. [PDF]
, 2014 Na(+) homeostasis is a key regulator of cardiac excitation and contraction. The cardiac voltage-gated Na(+) channel, NaV1.5, critically controls cell excitability, and altered channel gating has been implicated in both inherited and acquired arrhythmias.

Homeostasis and Narcolepsy [PDF]
Sleep, 1994 Narcolepsy is characterized by irresistible daytime sleep episodes and cataplectic attacks. Because of the finding of an ultradian rhythmicity of slow-wave sleep in narcolepsy, an alteration of nonrapid eye movement sleep homeostatic regulation has been hypothesized to explain the impairment of the sleep-wakefulness cycle. This hypothesis was tested by

Hepcidin and iron homeostasis during pregnancy. [PDF]
, 2014 Hepcidin is the master regulator of systemic iron bioavailability in humans. This review examines primary research articles that assessed hepcidin during pregnancy and postpartum and report its relationship to maternal and infant iron status and birth ...
