PLCγ2 controls neutrophil-like cell sensitivity through calcium oscillation and gates chemoattractant concentration range for chemotaxis [PDF]
The relationship between calcium oscillation and cell sensitivity is poorly understood. Calcium oscillation can occur spontaneously or be triggered upon receptor-ligand binding.

An agent-based model of metabolic signaling oscillations in Bacillus subtilis biofilms. [PDF]
Microbes of nearly every species can form biofilms, communities of cells bound together by a self-produced matrix. It is not understood how variation at the cellular level impacts putatively beneficial, colony-level behaviors, such as cell-to-cell ...

Calcium oscillations in mesenchymal stem cells, a control on cell cycle progression to influence cell fate towards proliferation or differentiation? [PDF]
Background Under regular culture conditions, mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) exhibit cytosolic calcium concentration oscillations (Ca2+ oscillations), that change, especially in frequency, after the differentiation of the MSCs.

Immediate nuclear accumulation of BMAL1 to regulate cellular circadian clock synchronization [PDF]
Cell-autonomous circadian clocks coordinate daily physiological timing, allowing them to synchronize with the environment. However, the initial signaling events shared by diverse synchronizing cues remain elusive.

Oscillations in a cAMP signalling model for cell aggregation – a geometric analysis [PDF]
In this article, the authors perform a geometric analysis of a singularly perturbed model for a cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) signalling system that controls aggregation of the amoeboid microorganism \textit{Dictyostelium discoideum} and which can be rewritten into the form of a planar system of ordinary differential equations with two small ...

Oscillations and temporal signalling in cells [PDF]
The development of new techniques to quantitatively measure gene expression in cells has shed light on a number of systems that display oscillations in protein concentration. Here we review the different mechanisms which can produce oscillations in gene expression or protein concentration, using a framework of simple mathematical models.

Oscillations Governed by the Incoherent Dynamics in Necroptotic Signaling
Emerging evidences have suggested that oscillation is important for the induction of cell death. However, whether and how oscillation behavior is involved and required for necroptosis remain elusive.

Jag1-Notch cis-interaction determines cell fate segregation in pancreatic development
Notch signaling is crucial for pancreatic cell fate choice. With mathematical modeling and experiments, Xu et al. provides new insights into how different Notch ligands and Hes1 oscillation guide the spatial-temporal dynamics of cell differentiation.
