Oscillation and noise determine signal transduction in shark multimodal sensory cells

Nature, 1994
Oscillating membrane potentials that generate rhythmic impulse patterns are considered to be of particular significance for neuronal information processing. In contrast, noise is usually seen as a disturbance which limits the accuracy of information transfer.

Calcium signalling in non-excitable cells: Notes on oscillations and store refilling

Cell Calcium, 1989
Technical advances in studying cellular calcium concentrations, and discoveries about many aspects of signal transduction have transformed this field of biology since this Journal was launched a decade ago. At that time monitoring of the key variable, cytoplasmic free Ca2+ concentration [Ca2+]i, was possible with aequorin or arsenazo ill mainly in ...

Small signal cell stability with focus on inter-cell oscillations in the web-of-cells framework

2017 IEEE 58th International Scientific Conference on Power and Electrical Engineering of Riga Technical University (RTUCON), 2017
The paper aims at describing observables used in small signal stability assessment based on Energy-Sorted Prony's method focusing at area and inter-area level of the power system. Presented research studies are based on a new way of power system operation, namely Web-of-cell concept, devised within FP7 IRP ELECTRA.

Oscillating calcium signals in smooth muscle cells underlie the persistent basal tone of internal anal sphincter

Journal of Cellular Physiology, 2021
AbstractA persistent basal tone in the internal anal sphincter (IAS) is essential for keeping the anal canal closed and fecal continence; its inhibition via the rectoanal inhibitory reflex (RAIR) is required for successful defecation. However, cellular signals underlying the IAS basal tone remain enigmatic.

Suppression of chaos by periodic oscillations in a model for cyclic AMP signalling inDictyostelium cells

Experientia, 1992
We investigate how the introduction of cells oscillating periodically affects the behaviour of a suspension of Dictyostelium discoideum amoebae undergoing chaotic oscillations of cyclic AMP. The analysis of a model indicates that a tiny proportion of periodic cells suffices to transform chaos into periodic oscillations in such suspensions.

Collective dynamics of genetic oscillators with cell-to-cell communication: a study case of signal integration

The European Physical Journal B, 2010
This paper investigates the effect of integration of intracellular and extracellular signals on collective dynamics based on a multicellular system with cell-to-cell communication. Using a mathematical model of genetic repressilators coupled to quorum sensing, we show that the changes in parameters of a certain kind of cis-regulatory input function ...

On the effect of circadian oscillations on biochemical cell signaling by NF−κB

Journal of Theoretical Biology, 2013
We report the results of a numerical investigation of a mathematical model for NF-κB oscillations, described by a set of ordinary nonlinear differential equations, when perturbed by a circadian oscillation. The main result is that a circadian rhythm, even when it represents a weak perturbation, enhances the signaling capabilities of NF-κB oscillations.

Intercellular signaling in glial cells: Calcium waves and oscillations in response to mechanical stimulation and glutamate

Neuron, 1991
Intercellular Ca2+ signaling in primary cultures of glial cells was investigated with digital fluorescence video imaging. Mechanical stimulation of a single cell induced a wave of increased [Ca2+]i that was communicated to surrounding cells. This was followed by asynchronous Ca2+ oscillations in some cells.

Acetylcholine and cholecystokinin induce different patterns of oscillating calcium signals in pancreatic acinar cells

Cell Calcium, 1991
Receptor-activated cytoplasmic calcium (Ca2+) oscillations have been investigated in single pancreatic acinar cells by microfluorimetry (Fura-2 as indicator). At submaximal concentrations of the agonists acetylcholine (ACh) and cholecystokinin octapeptide (CCK-8), both give rise to oscillatory changes in the cytosolic free calcium concentration ([Ca2 ...

Modelling of simple and complex calcium oscillations

European Journal of Biochemistry, 2002
This review provides a comparative overview of recent developments in the modelling of cellular calcium oscillations. A large variety of mathematical models have been developed for this wide‐spread phenomenon in intra‐ and intercellular signalling. From these, a general model is extracted that involves six types of concentration variables: inositol 1,4,
