Synchrony and entrainment properties of robust circadian oscillators.
Systems theoretic tools (i.e. mathematical modelling, control, and feedback design) advance the understanding of robust performance in complex biological networks. We highlight phase entrainment as a key performance measure used to investigate dynamics of a single deterministic circadian oscillator for the purpose of generating insight into the behaviour of a population of (synchronized) oscill...
متن کاملPhysiological and Pathological Functions of Mammalian MicroRNAs
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are 19to 26-nucleotide RNAs that regulate gene expression. Over 700 human miRNAgenes have been identified, with one report predicting close to 1000. Recent computational methods indicatethat up to 92% of human genes may be regulated by miRNA. In this chapter, we discuss recent progress inmiRNA biology and their roles in human disease pathogenesis, as well as o...
متن کاملsome properties of fuzzy hilbert spaces and norm of operators
in this thesis, at first we investigate the bounded inverse theorem on fuzzy normed linear spaces and study the set of all compact operators on these spaces. then we introduce the notions of fuzzy boundedness and investigate a new norm operators and the relationship between continuity and boundedness. and, we show that the space of all fuzzy bounded operators is complete. finally, we define...
15 صفحه اولSynchronization and entrainment of coupled circadian oscillators.
Circadian rhythms in mammals are controlled by the neurons located in the suprachiasmatic nucleus of the hypothalamus. In physiological conditions, the system of neurons is very efficiently entrained by the 24 h light-dark cycle. Most of the studies carried out so far emphasize the crucial role of the periodicity imposed by the light-dark cycle in neuronal synchronization. Nevertheless, heterog...
متن کاملOrphan nuclear receptors, molecular clockwork, and the entrainment of peripheral oscillators.
Here we summarize our work on two aspects of circadian timing: the roles of orphan nuclear receptors in the molecular clockwork, and phase entrainment of peripheral oscillators. With reference to the former, studies on cis-acting regulatory elements within the Bmal1 promoter revealed that REV-ERBalpha, an orphan nuclear receptor provides a link between the positive and negative limbs of the mol...
