We will discuss about "Collective Oscillations in coupled cell systems", Chen and Sinh, Bulletin of Mathematical Biology, 2021 We investigate oscillations in coupled systems. The methodology is based on the Hopf bifurcation theorem and a condition extended from the Routh–Hurwitz criterion. Such a condition leads to locating the bifurcation values of the parameters. With such …

We will discuss about “DeepCME: A deep learning framework for solving the Chemical Master Equation,” Gupta et al., bioRxiv, 2021 Stochastic models of biomolecular reaction networks are commonly employed in systems and synthetic biology to study the effects of stochastic fluctuations emanating from reactions involving species with low copy-numbers. For such models, the Kolmogorov’s forward …

We will discuss about “Modeling Cell-to-Cell Communication Networks Using Response-Time Distributions”, Thurley et al., Cell Systems, 2021 Abstract: Cell-to-cell communication networks have critical roles in coordinating diverse organismal processes, such as tissue development or immune cell response. However, compared with intracellular signal transduction networks, the function and engineering principles of cell-to-cell communication networks are far …

We will discuss about “Parameter Estimation in a Model of the Human Circadian Pacemaker Using a Particle Filter”, Bonarius et. al., IEEE Trans. Biomed. Eng., 2021 Abstract Objective: In the near future, real-time estimation of peoples unique, precise circadian clock state has the potential to improve the efficacy of medical treatments and improve human performance …

We will discuss about “Stochastic reaction networks in dynamic compartment populations”, Duso and Zechner, PNAS, 2020 Abstract: Compartmentalization of biochemical processes underlies all biological systems, from the organelle to the tissue scale. Theoretical models to study the interplay between noisy reaction dynamics and compartmentalization are sparse, and typically very challenging to analyze computationally. Recent studies …
