Fibroblast state switching orchestrates dermal maturation and wound healing

E Rognoni, AO Pisco, T Hiratsuka, KH Sipilä… - Molecular systems …, 2018 - embopress.org
Murine dermis contains functionally and spatially distinct fibroblast lineages that cease to
proliferate in early postnatal life. Here, we propose a model in which a negative feedback …

Inference of complex biological networks: distinguishability issues and optimization-based solutions

G Szederkényi, JR Banga, AA Alonso - BMC systems biology, 2011 - Springer
Background The inference of biological networks from high-throughput data has received
huge attention during the last decade and can be considered an important problem class in …

Inverse problems in systems biology: A critical review

R Guzzi, T Colombo, P Paci - Systems biology, 2018 - Springer
Abstract Systems Biology may be assimilated to a symbiotic cyclic interplaying between the
forward and inverse problems. Computational models need to be continuously refined …

The Drosophila gap gene network is composed of two parallel toggle switches

D Papatsenko, M Levine - PLoS One, 2011 - journals.plos.org
Drosophila “gap” genes provide the first response to maternal gradients in the early fly
embryo. Gap genes are expressed in a series of broad bands across the embryo during first …

[HTML][HTML] Modelling and calibration of pair-rule protein patterns in Drosophila embryo: From Even-skipped and Fushi-tarazu to Wingless expression networks

C Dias, R Dilão - Developmental Biology, 2025 - Elsevier
We modelled and calibrated the distributions of the seven-stripe patterns of Even-skipped
(Eve) and Fushi-tarazu (Ftz) pair-rule proteins along the anteroposterior axis of the …

The regulation of gene expression in eukaryotes: bistability and oscillations in repressilator models

R Dilão - Journal of theoretical biology, 2014 - Elsevier
To model the regulation of gene expression in eukaryotes by transcriptional activators and
repressors, we introduce delays in conjugation with the mass action law. Delays are …

Calibration of the distribution of the pair-rule proteins Even-skipped and Fushi-tarazu in the Drosophila embryo

C Dias, R Dilao - arxiv preprint arxiv:2401.03036, 2024 - arxiv.org
From a mass action law approach, we modelled and calibrated the distributions of the seven-
stripe patterns of Even-skipped (\textit {Eve}) and Fushi-tarazu (\textit {Ftz}) proteins in the …

The multicellular incoherent feedforward loop motif generates spatial patterns

M Rodríguez Regueira, JD García… - bioRxiv, 2019 - biorxiv.org
The multicellular incoherent feedforward loop (mIFFL) is an extension of the traditional
intracellular IFFL gene motif where the interacting nodes no longer need to be genes inside …

Mathematical modelling of gene regulatory networks

A Tušek, Z Kurtanjek - Applied Biological Engineering …, 2012 - books.google.com
Living cells can be observed as complex dynamical systems that are constantly remodelling
themselves as response to changes in their environment (Zak et al., 2005). The cell …

[HTML][HTML] Calibration and validation of a genetic regulatory network model describing the production of the protein Hunchback in Drosophila early development

R Dilão, D Muraro - Comptes Rendus Biologies, 2010 - Elsevier
We fit the parameters of a differential equations model describing the production of gap-
gene proteins Hunchback and Knirps along the antero-posterior axis of the embryo of …
