Biological switches and clocks.

To introduce this special issue on biological switches and clocks, we review the historical development of mathematical models of bistability and oscillations in chemical reaction networks. In the 1960s and 1970s, these models were limited to well-studied biochemical examples, such as glycolytic oscillations and cyclic AMP signalling. After the molecular genetics revolution of the 1980s, the fi...

Biological clocks.

Circadian rhythms describe biological phenomena that oscillate with an approximately 24-hour cycle. These rhythms include blood pressure, body temperature, hormone levels, the number of immune cells in blood, and the sleep-wake cycle. In this paper, we will focus on common genes between species that are responsible for determining the circadian behavior, especially some transcription factors (i...

Biological clocks and ventricular tachyarrhythmias.

Sudden cardiac death (SCD) due to sustained ventricular tachyarrhythmias (VTA) remains a major public health problem because of poor understanding of the mechanisms. Initiation of VTA in animal models and in patients usually requires intense metabolic or electrical stimuli not often observed for spontaneous arrhythmias, suggesting that profound but clinically silent electrophysiological changes...

How to Synchronize Biological Clocks

This paper is concerned with a novel algorithm to study networks of biological clocks. A new set of conditions is established that can be used to verify whether an existing network synchronizes or to give guidelines to construct a new synthetic network of biological oscillators that synchronize. The methodology uses the so-called contraction theory from dynamical system theory and Gershgorin di...

Biological Clocks: Riding the Tides

Animals with habitats in the intertidal zone often display biological rhythms that coordinate with both the tidal and the daily environmental cycles. Two recent studies show that the molecular components of the biological clocks mediating tidal rhythms are likely different from the phylogenetically conserved components that mediate circadian (daily) rhythms.
