Intracellular Regulatory Networks are close to Monotone Systems
Several meso-scale biological intracellular regulatory networks that have specified directionality of interactions have been recently assembled from experimental literature. Directed networks where links are characterized as positive or negative can be converted to systems of differential equations and analyzed as dynamical systems. Such analyses have shown that networks containing only sign-co...
متن کاملProximity of intracellular regulatory networks to monotone systems.
Networks that contain only sign-consistent loops, such as positive feedforward and feedback loops, function as monotone systems. Simulated using differential equations, monotone systems display well-ordered behaviour that excludes the possibility for chaotic dynamics. Perturbations of such systems have unambiguous global effects and a predictability characteristic that confers robustness and ad...
متن کاملControl motifs for intracellular regulatory networks.
A number of technological innovations are yielding unprecedented data on the networks of biochemical, genetic, and biophysical reactions that underlie cellular behavior and failure. These networks are composed of hundreds to thousands of chemical species and structures, interacting via nonlinear and possibly stochastic physical processes. A central goal of modern biology is to optimally use the...
متن کاملSolving the Mystery of Dengue in Iran; Are We Close to an Answer?
Dengue fever is a mosquito-borne infection which is endemic in Southeast Asia. Although it has not been distributed in Iran, locating near other countries where the Dengue has been revealed is a threat for Iran because different connection between countries may increase the rate of infection.
متن کاملMonotone and Near-Monotone Systems
This paper provides an expository introduction to monotone and nearmonotone biochemical network structures. Monotone systems respond in a predictable fashion to perturbations, and have very robust dynamical characteristics. This makes them reliable components of more complex networks, and suggests that natural biological systems may have evolved to be, if not monotone, at least close to monoton...
