Systems Biology and the Integration of Mechanistic Explanation and Mathematical Explanation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
The paper discusses how systems biology is working toward complex accounts that integrate explanation in terms of mechanisms and explanation by mathematical models—which some philosophers have viewed as rival models of explanation.

Mating disruption of citrus leafminer mediated by a noncompetitive mechanism at a remarkably low pheromone release rate.

open access: yes, 2008
The citrus leafminer, Phyllocnistis citrella Stainton (Lepidoptera: Gracillariidae), is a worldwide pest of citrus. A season-long investigation was conducted that evaluated mating disruption for this pest. Effective disruption of the male P.

A model of yeast glycolysis based on a consistent kinetic characterisation of all its enzymes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
peer reviewedWe present an experimental and computational pipeline for the generation of kinetic models of metabolism, and demonstrate its application to glycolysis in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Starting from an approximate mathematical model, we employ a

Tacrolimus Inhibits Hepatic Ferroptosis Through Modulating SIRT7-Dependent NRF2 Activation in Diabetes

open access: yesAntioxidants
Hepatic lipotoxicity in type 2 diabetes promotes oxidative stress and ferroptosis, driving progressive liver injury, for which effective targeted therapies remain lacking. Here, we identify tacrolimus (TAC), a clinically established immunosuppressant, as

Distinct CCK-positive SFO neurons are involved in persistent or transient suppression of water intake

open access: yesNature Communications, 2020
Water intake is critical to our life, and the subfornical organ in the brain involved in the control of this behavior. Here, the authors reveal that two distinct groups of CCK-producing neurons in the SFO suppress water intake according to the ...
