Realistic models of biological motion [PDF]
Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its Applications, 1998 The origin of biological motion can be traced back to the function of molecular motor proteins. Cytoplasmic dynein and kinesin transport organelles within our cells moving along a polymeric filament, the microtubule. The motion of the myosin molecules along the actin filaments is responsible for the contraction of our muscles.

A model for biological oscillations. [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1981 A model and computation for oscillatory phenomena observed in some biological processes that utilize ion gradients across a membrane is presented. The model contains two main features: (i) active H+ transport pathways in the membrane and (ii) key enzymes having a pH-dependent activity profile and either translocating H+ from outside or producing H+ as ...

Mathematical modeling of biological systems [PDF]
Briefings in Bioinformatics, 2012 Mathematical and computational models are increasingly used to help interpret biomedical data produced by high-throughput genomics and proteomics projects. The application of advanced computer models enabling the simulation of complex biological processes generates hypotheses and suggests experiments. Appropriately interfaced with biomedical databases,

Modeling Growth in Biological Materials [PDF]
SIAM Review, 2012 The biomechanical modeling of growing tissues has recently become an area of intense interest. In particular, the interplay between growth patterns and mechanical stress is of great importance, with possible applications to arterial mechanics, embryo morphogenesis, tumor development, and bone remodeling.

Population and species neighbor identity impact trait–trait relationships and plant performance
Population Ecology, EarlyView.We evaluated how populations and species identity influence plant performance and trait outcomes in mixtures, and assessed trait variation among populations of two forb species native to the western United States (Dieteria canescens and Heterotheca villosa) following three interaction treatments (single‐population monoculture, two‐population mixture ...

Programmatic modeling for biological systems
Current Opinion in Systems Biology, 2021 AbstractComputational modeling has become an established technique to encode mathematical representations of cellular processes and gain mechanistic insights that drive testable predictions. These models are often constructed using graphical user interfaces or domain-specific languages, with SBML used for interchange.

Effects of chronic browsing on life‐history traits of an irruptive large herbivore population
Population Ecology, EarlyView.This study aimed to determine the relationship between diet quality, body mass, and size (hind foot length), and female reproduction and sought to identify the mechanism by which high density under severe food limitations is maintained. Our results demonstrated that sika deer introduced to Nakanoshima Island have maintained high densities through high ...

Dendritic cells steering antigen and leukocyte traffic in lymph nodes
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.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

Biological Transactions for Quantitative Models
Electronic Notes in Theoretical Computer Science, 2007 AbstractIn this work an extension of stochastic π-calculus with biological transactions is presented. This permits to model multi-reactant multi-product reactions as atomic actions when quantitative information are given. First, the syntax and the semantics are defined, then some transaction properties are discussed.

The dual nature of TDC – bridging dendritic and T cells in immunity
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.TDC are hematopoietic cells combining dendritic and T cell features. They reach secondary lymphoid organs (SLOs) and peripheral organs (liver and lungs) after FLT3‐dependent development in the bone marrow and maturation in the thymus. TDC are activated and enriched in SLOs upon viral infection, suggesting that they might play unique immune roles, since
