Mathematical Modeling and Analysis of Intracellular Signaling Pathways

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provide an overview of concepts and techniques necessary to describe and analyze the operation of intracellular signaling pathways with concise mathematical language. But they do not provide a detailed discussion of the specific types of pathway dynamics.

Apical leaf necrosis and leaf nitrogen dynamics in diseased leaves: a model study

TL;DR: The model reproduces observed trends of disease severity, apical necrosis and green leaf area (GLA) and leaf N dynamics of uninfected and infected leaves and could provide a tool to more accurately estimate crop yield and effects of disease management strategies in crops sensitive to fungal pathogens.

Cell population heterogeneity in expression of a gene-switching network with fluorescent markers of different half-lives.

TL;DR: The wide range of fluorescent phenotypes and the inability of the average population properties to fully characterize network behavior, indicate the importance of taking into account cell population heterogeneity when designing such a gene-switching network for biotechnological and biomedical applications.

Complexity of a Duopoly Game in the Electricity Market with Delayed Bounded Rationality

TL;DR: In this article, a Cournot duopoly game model with delayed bounded rationality is proposed to solve the problem of the electricity market, which is closer to the reality of the real world and worth spreading in oligopoly.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mathematical model of the role of intercellular signalling in intercellular cooperation during tumorigenesis

TL;DR: A model is presented that incorporates signal‐stimulated cell proliferation, and influences of diffusion‐driven heterogeneity in signal concentration on proliferation dynamics are investigated.
