Abstract: The biological master clock, the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) of a mouse, contains many (~20,000) clock cells heterogeneous, particularly with respect to their circadian period. Despite the inhomogeneity, within an intact SCN, they maintain a very high degree of circadian phase coherence, which is generally rendered visible as system-wide propagating phase waves. The phase coherence …

Abstract: Inference method for a stochastic target-mediated drug disposition model via ABC-MCMC In this study, we discuss model robustness. Model robustness is consistent performance over variations of parameters. We formulate a stochastic target-mediated drug (TMDD) model, one of the pharmacokinetic models, to capture bi-exponential drug decay in plasma. A stochastic process is used to account …

Abstract: Systems biology seeks to build quantitative predictive models of biological system behavior. Biological systems, such as the mammalian immune system, operate across multiple spatiotemporal scales with a myriad of molecular and cellular players. Thus, mechanistic, predictive models describing such systems need to address this multiscale nature. A general outstanding problem is to cope with …
