Metabolism and Aging: From Molecular Physiology to Systems Biology
Leber's Hereditary Optic Neuropathy (LHON) is a neurodegenerative mitochondrial disease characterized by retinal ganglionic cell death and eventual loss of central vision. Specific mtDNA mutations in respiratory complex I subunits (ND4/ND6/ND1) coding genes have been identified in most of LHON patients, and these mutations have been shown to cause mitochondrial dysfunctions leading to increased...
متن کاملNutritional Systems Biology Modeling: From Molecular Mechanisms to Physiology
The use of computational modeling and simulation has increased in many biological fields, but despite their potential these techniques are only marginally applied in nutritional sciences. Nevertheless, recent applications of modeling have been instrumental in answering important nutritional questions from the cellular up to the physiological levels. Capturing the complexity of today's important...
متن کاملPhotosynthesis under drought and salt stress: regulation mechanisms from whole plant to cell.
BACKGROUND Plants are often subjected to periods of soil and atmospheric water deficits during their life cycle as well as, in many areas of the globe, to high soil salinity. Understanding how plants respond to drought, salt and co-occurring stresses can play a major role in stabilizing crop performance under drought and saline conditions and in the protection of natural vegetation. Photosynthe...
متن کاملThe phytotronist and the phenotype: plant physiology, Big Science, and a Cold War biology of the whole plant.
This paper describes how, from the early twentieth century, and especially in the early Cold War era, the plant physiologists considered their discipline ideally suited among all the plant sciences to study and explain biological functions and processes, and ranked their discipline among the dominant forms of the biological sciences. At their apex in the late-1960s, the plant physiologists laid...
متن کاملTowards whole-body systems physiology
The liver executes a multitude of functions in human physiology such as detoxification or hormone synthesis. Consequently, hepatic dysfunction, be it inborn or acquired, can lead to diverse pathological manifestations as for instance argininemia or hypercholesterolemia. To analyze liver function at the cellular scale and to investigate underlying genotype–phenotype relationships, a growing numb...
