Microgravity influences circadian clock oscillation in human keratinocytes [PDF]
Microgravity and sudden changes of gravitational forces exert numerous effects on tissues, organs and apparatus. Responses to these forces variably applied to cells indicate the existence of mechan- otransduction pathways able to modulate transcription ...

Dynamic intracellular mechanical cues facilitate collective signaling responses
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 ...

Experimental Design for Stochastic Models of Nonlinear Signaling Pathways Using an Interval-Wise Linear Noise Approximation and State Estimation. [PDF]
BACKGROUND:Computational modeling is a key technique for analyzing models in systems biology. There are well established methods for the estimation of the kinetic parameters in models of ordinary differential equations (ODE).

The circadian clock regulates the “push-pull” of the molecular signaling mechanisms that arrange the rhythmic organization of the physiology to maintain cellular homeostasis. In mammals, molecular clock genes tightly arrange cellular rhythmicity.

Genetic disruption of the core circadian clock impairs hippocampus-dependent memory [PDF]
Perturbing the circadian system by electrolytically lesioning the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) or varying the environmental light:dark schedule impairs memory, suggesting that memory depends on the circadian system.

Splice variants of DOMINO control Drosophila circadian behavior and pacemaker neuron maintenance. [PDF]
Circadian clocks control daily rhythms in behavior and physiology. In Drosophila, the small ventral lateral neurons (sLNvs) expressing PIGMENT DISPERSING FACTOR (PDF) are the master pacemaker neurons generating locomotor rhythms.

Lattice gas cellular automata model for rippling and aggregation in myxobacteria
A lattice-gas cellular automaton (LGCA) model is used to simulate rippling and aggregation in myxobacteria. An efficient way of representing cells of different cell size, shape and orientation is presented that may be easily extended to model later ...

p75 neurotrophin receptor is a clock gene that regulates oscillatory components of circadian and metabolic networks. [PDF]
The p75 neurotrophin receptor (p75(NTR)) is a member of the tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily with a widespread pattern of expression in tissues such as the brain, liver, lung, and muscle.
