Intermediates and Generic Convergence to Equilibria [PDF]
Known graphical conditions for the generic or global convergence to equilibria of the dynamical system arising from a reaction network are shown to be invariant under the so-called successive removal of intermediates, a systematic procedure to simplify ...

Epigenetic changes and nuclear factor-\u3baB activation, but not microRNA-224, downregulate Raf-1 kinase inhibitor protein in triple\u2011negative breast cancer SUM 159 cells [PDF]
Raf-1 kinase inhibitor protein (RKIP) is a tumor suppressor and metastasis inhibitor, which enhances drug\u2011induced apoptosis of cancer cells. Downregulation of RKIP may be significant in the biology of highly aggressive and drug\u2011resistant tumors,

Modelling the influence of RKIP on the ERK signalling pathway using the stochastic process algebra PEPA [PDF]
This paper examines the influence of the Raf Kinase Inhibitor Protein (RKIP) on the Extracellular signal Regulated Kinase (ERK) signalling pathway [5] through modelling in a Markovian process algebra, PEPA [11].

A new model for raf kinase inhibitory protein induced chemotherapeutic resistance. [PDF]
Therapeutic resistance remains the most challenging aspect of treating cancer. Raf kinase inhibitory protein (RKIP) emerged as a molecule capable of sensitizing cancerous cells to radio- and chemotherapy.

cis-Acting elements and trans-acting factors in the transcriptional regulation of raf kinase inhibitory protein expression. [PDF]
The Raf kinase inhibitory protein (RKIP) is down-regulated in multiple types of human cancers. Decreased RKIP transcription activity may be one of the major mechanisms responsible for the downregulation of RKIP expression in human diseases.

Downregulation of RKIP is associated with poor outcome and malignant progression in gliomas.
Malignant gliomas are highly infiltrative and invasive tumors, which precludes the few treatment options available. Therefore, there is an urgent need to elucidate the molecular mechanisms underlying gliomas aggressive phenotype and poor prognosis.

Stronger computational modelling of signalling pathways using both continuous and discrete-state methods [PDF]
Starting from a biochemical signalling pathway model expresses in a process algebra enriched with quantitative information, we automatically derive both continuous-space and discrete-space representations suitable for numerical evaluation.

Raf Kinase Inhibitory Protein (RKIP) as a Metastasis Suppressor: Regulation of Signaling Networks in Cancer [PDF]
Cancer is one of the deadliest diseases worldwide, accounting for about 8 million deaths a year. For solid tumors, cancer patients die as a result of the metastatic spread of the tumor to the rest of the body. Therefore, there is a clinical need for understanding the molecular and cellular basis of metastasis, identifying patients whose tumors are more
