Signalling networks regulating dental development

There has been rapid progress recently in the identification of signalling pathways regulating tooth development. It has become apparent that signalling networks involved in Drosophila development and development of mammalian organs such as the limb are also used in tooth development. Teeth are epithelial appendages formed in the oral region of vertebrates and their early developmental anatomy ...

Inferring signalling networks from images

The mapping of signalling networks is one of biology's most important goals. However, given their size, complexity and dynamic nature, obtaining comprehensive descriptions of these networks has proven extremely challenging. A fast and cost-effective means to infer connectivity between genes on a systems-level is by quantifying the similarity between high-dimensional cellular phenotypes followin...

Bayesian Inference for Protein Signalling Networks

Neutral fitness landscapes in signalling networks.

Biological and technological systems process information by means of cascades of signals. Be they interacting genes, spiking neurons or electronic transistors, information travels across these systems, producing, for each set of external conditions, an appropriate response. In technology, circuits performing specific complex tasks are designed by humans. In biology, however, design has to be ru...

Cortactin signalling and dynamic actin networks.

Cortactin was first identified over a decade ago, and its initial characterization as both an F-actin binding protein and v-Src substrate suggested that it was likely to be a key regulator of actin rearrangements in response to tyrosine kinase signalling. The recent discovery that cortactin binds and activates the actin related protein (Arp)2/3 complex, and thus regulates the formation of branc...
