Two-compartment stochastic model of a neuron
A two-compartment neuronal model is investigated. The model neuron is composed of two interconnected parts – a dendrite and a trigger zone, with a white noise input in the dendritic compartment. The first and the second moments of the stochastic processes describing the membrane depolarization in both compartments are derived and investigated. When a firing threshold is not imposed, the level o...
متن کاملDifferences in the frequency and function of HHV8-specific CD8 T cells between asymptomatic HHV8 infection and Kaposi sarcoma.
It is unclear how the immune response controls human herpesvirus 8 (HHV8; also known as Kaposi sarcoma-associated herpesvirus [KSHV]) replication and thereby prevents Kaposi sarcoma (KS). We compared CD8 T-cell responses to HHV8 latent (K12) and lytic (glycoprotein B, ORF6, ORF61, and ORF65) antigens in patients who spontaneously controlled the infection and in patients with posttransplantation...
متن کاملA two-compartment model of the human retina.
PURPOSE In this article we question a basic concept in retinal pathology, which views the retina as composed primarily of neural elements, in a single compartment. METHODS We suggest an alternative approach, centering on the epithelial-glial elements of the retina, dividing the retina into two distinct compartments. The framework of these two compartments is composed of two epithelial-like mo...
متن کاملA Two-Compartment Model of VEGF Distribution in the Mouse
Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is a key regulator of angiogenesis--the growth of new microvessels from existing microvasculature. Angiogenesis is a complex process involving numerous molecular species, and to better understand it, a systems biology approach is necessary. In vivo preclinical experiments in the area of angiogenesis are typically performed in mouse models; this includes...
متن کاملA two-compartment model of pulmonary nitric oxide exchange dynamics.
The relatively recent detection of nitric oxide (NO) in the exhaled breath has prompted a great deal of experimentation in an effort to understand the pulmonary exchange dynamics. There has been very little progress in theoretical studies to assist in the interpretation of the experimental results. We have developed a two-compartment model of the lungs in an effort to explain several fundamenta...
