Cell Cycling Models of Carcinogenesis: A Complex Systems Analysis [PDF]
A new approach to the modular, complex systems analysis of nonlinear dynamics in cell cycling network transformations involved in carcinogenesis is proposed. Carcinogenesis is a complex process that involves dynamically inter-connected biomolecules in the intercellular, membrane, cytosolic, nuclear and nucleolar compartments that form numerous inter ...

Tumor suppressor and anti-inflammatory protein: an expanded view on insulin-degrading enzyme (IDE) [PDF]
In 1994, I conjectured that insulin-degrading enzyme (IDE) acts as an inhibitor of malignant transformation by degrading insulin and thus preventing this major growth-stimulatory hormone from binding and thereby inactivating the retinoblastoma tumor suppressor protein (RB).

Prognostic value of cyclin B in endometrial endometrioid adenocarcinoma
Cyclins are a group of cell cycle regulatory proteins. Cyclin B acts as an activator to cyclin-dependent kinase 1 (CDK1), a protein kinase essential for G2/M phase transition. Deregulation of cyclins has been linked to a number of malignant neoplasms, but the impact on clinicopathological parameters seems to be cancer-specific. Overexpression of cyclin

Certain amplified genomic-DNA fragments (AGFs) may be involved in cell cycle progression and chloroquine is found to induce the production of cell-cycle-associated AGFs (CAGFs) in Plasmodium falciparum [PDF]
It is well known that cyclins are a family of proteins that control cell-cycle progression by activating cyclin-dependent kinase. Based on our experimental results, we propose here a novel hypothesis that certain amplified genomic-DNA fragments (AGFs) may also be required for the cell cycle progression of eukaryotic cells and thus can be named as cell ...

The cycline subalgebra of a Kumjian-Pask algebra [PDF]
Let $\Lambda$ be a row-finite higher-rank graph with no sources. We identify a maximal commutative subalgebra $\mathcal{M}$ inside the Kumjian-Pask algebra ${\rm KP}_R(\Lambda)$. We also prove a generalized Cuntz-Krieger uniqueness theorem for Kumjian-Pask algebras which says that a representation of ${\rm KP}_R(\Lambda)$ is injective if and only if it

Prediction of repurposed drugs for treating lung injury in COVID-19 [PDF]
Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is an infectious disease discovered in 2019 and currently in outbreak across the world. Lung injury with severe respiratory failure is the leading cause of death in COVID-19, brought by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2).

Periodic higher rank graphs revisited [PDF]
Let $P$ be a finitely generated cancellative abelian monoid. A $P$-graph $\Lambda$ is a natural generalization of a higher rank graph. A pullback of $\Lambda$ is constructed by pulling it back over a given monoid morphism to $P$, while a pushout of $\Lambda$ is obtained by modding out its periodicity $\Per\Lambda$, which is deduced from a natural ...

Is Cyclin D2 a Marker of B-CLL Cell Activation?
The most recent studies emphasize a link between B-cell proliferation in vivo and clinical outcome of B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia (B-CLL). The expression of cyclin D2 in B-CLL cells isolated from the peripheral blood of 27 untreated patients in relation to the apoptosis ratio both before and 72 h after culture in the absence of growth factors ...

Bifurcation in cell cycle dynamics regulated by p53 [PDF]
We study the regulating mechanism of p53 on the properties of cell cycle dynamics in the light of the proposed model of interacting p53 and cell cycle networks via p53. Irradiation (IR) introduce to p53 compel p53 dynamics to suffer different phases, namely oscillating and oscillation death (stabilized) phases.

Regulation and Function of Cyclin D2 in B Lymphocyte Subsets [PDF]
AbstractAbs produced by B lymphocytes play an essential role in humoral immunity against pathogens. This response is dependent upon the extent of genome replication, which in turn allows clonal expansion of Ag-specific B cell precursors. Thus, there is considerable interest in understanding how naive B cells commit to genome replication following Ag ...
