Mathematical modelling of p53 signalling during DNA damage response: A survey

J Eliaš, CK Macnamara - International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2021 - mdpi.com
No gene has garnered more interest than p53 since its discovery over 40 years ago. In the
last two decades, thanks to seminal work from Uri Alon and Ghalit Lahav, p53 has defined a …

Diffusion driven oscillations in gene regulatory networks

CK Macnamara, MAJ Chaplain - Journal of Theoretical Biology, 2016 - Elsevier
Gene regulatory networks (GRNs) play an important role in maintaining cellular function by
correctly timing key processes such as cell division and apoptosis. GRNs are known to …

[HTML][HTML] Stationary moments, distribution conjugation and phenotypic regions in stochastic gene transcription

J Zhang, T Zhou - Mathematical Biosciences and Engineering, 2019 - aimspress.com
Transcription is a pivotal step in gene expression yet a complex biochemical process. It
occurs often in a bursty manner, leading to cell-to-cell variability important for the cells …

The influence of nuclear compartmentalisation on stochastic dynamics of self-repressing gene expression

M Sturrock, S Li, V Shahrezaei - Journal of theoretical biology, 2017 - Elsevier
Gene expression is an inherently noisy process. This noise is generally thought to be
deleterious as precise internal regulation of biochemical reactions is essential for cell growth …

Endogenous miRNA sponges mediate the generation of oscillatory dynamics for a non-coding RNA network

A Dhawan, AL Harris, FM Buffa, JG Scott - Journal of Theoretical Biology, 2019 - Elsevier
Oscillations are crucial to the normal function of living organisms, across a wide variety of
biological processes. In eukaryotes, oscillatory dynamics are thought to arise from …

Phenotypic selection through cell death: stochastic modelling of o-6-methylguanine-dna methyltransferase dynamics

A mean-field approach for modeling the propagation of perturbations in biochemical reaction networks

M Przedborski, D Sharon, S Chan… - European Journal of …, 2021 - Elsevier
Often, the time evolution of a biochemical reaction network is crucial for determining the
effects of combining multiple pharmaceuticals. Here we illustrate a mathematical framework …

Is the cell nucleus a necessary component in precise temporal patterning?

J Albert, M Rooman - PloS one, 2015 - journals.plos.org
One of the functions of the cell nucleus is to help regulate gene expression by controlling
molecular traffic across the nuclear envelope. Here we investigate, via stochastic simulation …
