Mathematical modeling of biological processes provides deep insights into complex cellular
systems. While quantitative and continuous models such as differential equations have been …

The biomolecules inside or near cells form a complex interacting system. Cellular
phenotypes and behaviors arise from the totality of interactions among the components of …

State flipping is an effective control method that has just recently been proposed. In this
paper, the state-flipped mechanism is introduced to implement the complete synchronization …

Plants have biochemical defences against stresses from predators, parasites and
pathogens. In this review we discuss the interaction of plant defences with microbial …

Despite the current wealth of high-throughput data, our understanding of signal transduction
is still incomplete. Mathematical modeling can be a tool to gain an insight into such …

Co-infections alter the host immune response but how the systemic and local processes at
the site of infection interact is still unclear. The majority of studies on co-infections …

Here we present logic modeling as an approach to understand deregulation of signal
transduction in disease and to characterize a drug's mode of action. We discuss how to build …

The book consists of 29 chapters written by 90 experts from 15 countries that represent three-
fourths of the globe. In the introductory chapter (Chap. 1), Dr. Agrawal and colleagues have …

Eosinophils are found in the lungs of humans with allergic asthma, as well as in the lungs of
animals in models of this disease. Increasing evidence suggests that these cells are integral …

In this paper, the partial synchronization of general Boolean Networks is studied from the
perspective of nodes and states by using the semi-tensor product of matrices. First, by …
