Aggregation-fragmentation model of robust concentration gradient formation.
Concentration gradients of signaling molecules are essential for patterning during development and they have been observed in both unicellular and multicellular systems. In subcellular systems, clustering of the signaling molecule has been observed. We develop a theoretical model of cluster-mediated concentration gradient formation based on the Becker-Döring equations of aggregation-fragmentati...
متن کاملEigenelements of a General Aggregation-Fragmentation Model
We consider a linear integro-differential equation which arises to describe both aggregationfragmentation processes and cell division. We prove the existence of a solution (λ,U , φ) to the related eigenproblem. Such eigenelements are useful to study the long time asymptotic behaviour of solutions as well as the steady states when the equation is coupled with an ODE. Our study concerns a non-con...
متن کاملAggregation-fragmentation-diffusion model for trail dynamics.
We investigate statistical properties of trails formed by a random process incorporating aggregation, fragmentation, and diffusion. In this stochastic process, which takes place in one spatial dimension, two neighboring trails may combine to form a larger one, and also one trail may split into two. In addition, trails move diffusively. The model is defined by two parameters which quantify the f...
متن کاملAggregation of a Distributed Source in Morphogen Gradient Formation.
In the development of a biological entity, ligands (such as Decapentaplegic (Dpp) along the anterior-posterior axis of the Drosophila wing imaginal disc) are synthesized at a localized source and transported away from the source for binding with cell surface receptors to form concentration gradients of ligand-receptor complexes for cell signaling. Generally speaking, activities such as diffusio...
متن کاملAggregation–fragmentation model of vesicular transport in neurons
We develop a mathematical model of the motor-based transport and delivery of vesicles to synaptic targets of an axon. Our model incorporates the ‘stopand-go’ nature of bidirectional motor transport (which can be modeled in terms of advection–diffusion) and the reversible exchange of vesicles between motors and targets, both of which have been observed experimentally. Since motor-target interact...
