Developmental regulation of myosin gene expression in mouse cardiac muscle
Expression of the two isoforms of cardiac myosin heavy chain (MHC), MHC alpha and MHC beta, in mammals is regulated postnatally by a variety of stimuli, including serum hormone levels.

Quantitative Modelling of Diffusion-driven Pattern Formation in microRNA-regulated Gene Expression [PDF]
MicroRNAs are extensively known for post-transcriptional gene regulation and pattern formation in the embryonic developmental stage. We explore the origin of these spatio-temporal patterns mathematically, considering three different motifs here.

MicroRNAs Instruct and Maintain Cell Type Diversity in the Nervous System
Characterizing the diverse cell types that make up the nervous system is essential for understanding how the nervous system is structured and ultimately how it functions.

Robustness under functional constraint: The genetic network for temporal expression in Drosophila neurogenesis [PDF]
Precise temporal coordination of gene expression is crucial for many developmental processes. One central question in developmental biology is how such coordinated expression patterns are robustly controlled. During embryonic development of the Drosophila central nervous system, neural stem cells called neuroblasts sequentially express a group of genes

Homeorhesis in Waddington's Landscape by Epigenetic Feedback Regulation [PDF]
In multicellular organisms, cells differentiate into several distinct types during early development. Determination of each cellular state, along with the ratio of each cell type, as well as the developmental course during cell differentiation are highly regulated processes that are robust to noise and environmental perturbations throughout development.

Cooperation, cis-interactions, versatility and evolutionary plasticity of multiple cis-acting elements underlie krox20 hindbrain regulation. [PDF]
Cis-regulation plays an essential role in the control of gene expression, and is particularly complex and poorly understood for developmental genes, which are subject to multiple levels of modulation.

Three facets of mathematical cancer biology research [PDF]
Cancer, as the uncontrollable cell growth, is related to many branches of biology. In this review, we will discuss three mathematical approaches for studying cancer biology: population dynamics, gene regulation, and developmental biology. If we understand all biochemical mechanisms of cancer cells, we can directly calculate how the cancer cell ...

Dendritic cells steering antigen and leukocyte traffic in lymph nodes
Dendritic cells are key players in the activation of T cells and their commitment to effector function. In this In a Nutshell Review, we will discuss how dendritic cells guide the trafficking of antigen and leukocytes in the lymph node, thus influencing T‐cell activation processes. Dendritic cells (DCs) play a central role in initiating and shaping the
