G protein-coupled receptor-mediated calcium signaling in astrocytes
Maurizio De Pittà, Eshel Ben-Jacob, Hugues Berry
Astrocytes express a large variety of G~protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) which mediate the transduction of extracellular signals into intracellular calcium responses. This transdu…
Emergence of regular and complex calcium oscillations by inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate signaling in astrocytes
Valeri Matrosov, Susan Gordleeva, Natalia Boldyreva +4
We use tools of bifurcation theory to characterize dynamics of astrocytic~IP and~Ca for different~IP regimes from a mathematical point of view. We do so following a…
Distinguishing Mechanisms Underlying EMT Tristability
Dongya Jia, Mohit Kumar Jolly, Satyendra C. Tripathi +10
Background: The Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition (EMT) endows epithelial-looking cells with enhanced migratory ability during embryonic development and tissue repair. EMT can also…
Functional Cliques in Developmentally Correlated Neural Networks
S. Luccioli, A. Barzilai, E. Ben-Jacob +2
We consider a sparse random network of excitatory leaky integrate-and-fire neurons with short-term synaptic depression. Furthermore to mimic the dynamics of a brain circuit in its…
Implications of the hybrid epithelial/mesenchymal phenotype in metastasis
Mohit Kumar Jolly, Marcelo Boareto, Bin Huang +5
Understanding cell-fate decisions during tumorigenesis and metastasis is a major challenge in modern cancer biology. One canonical cell-fate decision that cancer cells undergo is E…
Clique of functional hubs orchestrates population bursts in developmentally regulated neural networks
Stefano Luccioli, Eshel Ben-Jacob, Ari Barzilai +2
It has recently been discovered that single neuron stimulation can impact network dynamics in immature and adult neuronal circuits. Here we report a novel mechanism which can expla…
