Targeted drugs disrupting proteins that are dysregulated in cancer have emerged as promising treatments because of their specificity to cancer cell aberrations and thus their …
Epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) has been associated with cancer cell heterogeneity, plasticity, and metastasis. However, the extrinsic signals supervising these …

Abstract Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), a basic developmental process that might promote cancer metastasis, has been studied from various perspectives. Recently, the early …
We present the epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) from two perspectives: experimental/technological and theoretical. We review the state of the current understanding …
Dynamical models of biomolecular networks are successfully used to understand the mechanisms underlying complex diseases and to design therapeutic strategies. Network …
Background Mechanistic models of within-cell signal transduction networks can explain how these networks integrate internal and external inputs to give rise to the appropriate cellular …
The dynamics of cellular mechanisms can be investigated through the analysis of networks. One of the simplest but most popular modeling strategies involves logic-based models …
Endothelial cells (ECs) form the lining of lymph and blood vessels. Changes in tissue requirements or wounds may cause ECs to behave as tip or stalk cells. Alternatively, they …
