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.

Synchronization of the segmentation clock using synthetic cell-cell signaling. [PDF]
Tight coordination of cell-cell signaling in space and time is vital for self-organization in tissue patterning. During vertebrate development, the segmentation clock drives oscillatory gene expression in the presomitic mesoderm (PSM), leading to the ...

Summary: Cholesterol, one of the major cell membrane components, stabilizes membrane fluidity and regulates signal transduction. Beside its canonical roles, cholesterol has been reported to directly activate signaling pathways such as hedgehog (Hh).

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.

Adrenergic regulation of immune cell function and inflammation
The sympathetic nervous system integrates the functions of multiple organ systems by regulating their autonomic physiological activities. The immune system is regulated both locally and systemically by the neurotransmitters epinephrine and norepinephrine

An excitable signal integrator couples to an idling cytoskeletal oscillator to drive cell migration [PDF]
It is generally believed that cytoskeletal activities drive random cell migration, whereas signal transduction events initiated by receptors regulate the cytoskeleton to guide cells. However, we find that the cytoskeletal network, involving SCAR/WAVE, Arp 2/3 and actin-binding proteins, is capable of generating only rapid oscillations and undulations ...
