Integrated Computational Model of Lung Tissue Bioenergetics

Modeling Mitochondrial Bioenergetics with Integrated Volume Dynamics

Mathematical models of mitochondrial bioenergetics provide powerful analytical tools to help interpret experimental data and facilitate experimental design for elucidating the supporting biochemical and physical processes. As a next step towards constructing a complete physiologically faithful mitochondrial bioenergetics model, a mathematical model was developed targeting the cardiac mitochondr...

Non-invasive approaches to tissue bioenergetics.

It is clear that continuous light affords a very limited window of opportunity for quantitative spectrophotometry of brain tissue. However, the number of qualitative applications which are available exemplify how this extremely simple technique can be applied to important medical problems. The development of devices which can measure directly the oxygen saturation of the brain is more complicat...

A tissue-engineered model of fetal distal lung tissue.

In extending our previous studies toward development of an engineered distal lung tissue construct (M. J. Mondrinos, S. Koutzaki, E. Jiwanmall, M. Li, J. P. Dechadarevian, P. I. Lelkes, and C. M. Finck. Tissue Eng 12: 717-728, 2006), we studied the effects of exogenous fibroblast growth factors FGF10, FGF7, and FGF2 on mixed populations of embryonic day 17.5 murine fetal pulmonary cells culture...

A computational model integrating electrophysiology, contraction, and mitochondrial bioenergetics in the ventricular myocyte.

An intricate network of reactions is involved in matching energy supply with demand in the heart. This complexity arises because energy production both modulates and is modulated by the electrophysiological and contractile activity of the cardiac myocyte. Here, we present an integrated mathematical model of the cardiac cell that links excitation-contraction coupling with mitochondrial energy ge...
