Bioengineering models of cell signaling.
Strategies for rationally manipulating cell behavior in cell-based technologies and molecular therapeutics and understanding effects of environmental agents on physiological systems may be derived from a mechanistic understanding of underlying signaling mechanisms that regulate cell functions. Three crucial attributes of signal transduction necessitate modeling approaches for analyzing these sy...
متن کاملModels of cell signaling pathways.
Cellular signaling circuits handle an enormous range of computations. Beyond the housekeeping, replicating and other functions of individual cells, signaling circuits must implement the immensely complex logic of development and function of multicellular organisms. Computer models are useful tools to understand this complexity. Recent studies have extended such models to include electrical, mec...
متن کاملBioengineering Models for Breast Cancer Research
Despite substantial advances in early diagnosis, breast cancer (BC) still remains a clinical challenge. Most BC models use complex in vivo models and two-dimensional monolayer cultures that do not fully mimic the tumor microenvironment. The integration of cancer biology and engineering can lead to the development of novel in vitro approaches to study BC behavior and quantitatively assess differ...
متن کاملConstructing stem cell microenvironments using bioengineering approaches.
Within the adult organism, stem cells reside in defined anatomical microenvironments called niches. These architecturally diverse microenvironments serve to balance stem cell self-renewal and differentiation. Proper regulation of this balance is instrumental to tissue repair and homeostasis, and any imbalance can potentially lead to diseases such as cancer. Within each of these microenvironment...
