Cellular Architecture Regulates Collective Calcium Signaling and Cell Contractility.
PLoS Computational Biology, 2016 A key feature of multicellular systems is the ability of cells to function collectively in response to external stimuli. However, the mechanisms of intercellular cell signaling and their functional implications in diverse vascular structures are poorly ...

A model of cell biological signaling predicts a phase transition of signaling and provides mathematical formulae. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 A biological signal is transmitted by interactions between signaling molecules in the cell. To date, there have been extensive studies regarding signaling pathways using numerical simulation of kinetic equations that are based on equations of continuity ...

The Roles of Fission Yeast Ase1 in Mitotic Cell Division, Meiotic Nuclear Oscillation, and Cytokinesis Checkpoint Signaling [PDF]
Molecular Biology of the Cell, 2005 The Ase1/Prc1 proteins constitute a conserved microtubule-associated protein family that is implicated in central spindle formation and cytokinesis. Here we characterize a role for fission yeast Ase1. Ase1 localizes to microtubule overlapping zones and displays dynamic alterations of localization during the cell cycle.

A transcriptomic taxonomy of Drosophila circadian neurons around the clock
eLife, 2021 Many different functions are regulated by circadian rhythms, including those orchestrated by discrete clock neurons within animal brains. To comprehensively characterize and assign cell identity to the 75 pairs of Drosophila circadian neurons, we ...

Dynamic expression of Notch signaling genes in neural stem/progenitor cells
Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2011 In neural stem/progenitor cells, expression of the Notch effector Hes1, a transcriptional repressor, oscillates with a period of 2-3 hours by negative feedback, and Hes1 oscillations induce the oscillatory expression of the proneural gene Neurogenin2 ...

Dynamic intracellular mechanical cues facilitate collective signaling responses
iScience, 2021 Summary: Collective behavior emerges in diverse life machineries, e.g., the immune responses to dynamic stimulations. The essential questions that arise here are that whether and how cells in vivo collectively respond to stimulation frequencies higher ...
