Signaling output: it's all about timing and feedbacks
نویسنده
چکیده
The central questions in understanding signaling pathway specificity are how these pathways encode which stimulus is present and how this stimulus is decoded to yield the correct cell fate decision. In their recent work, Ryu et al (2015) show by stimulation experiments with different ligands how the differential engagement of feedback and feed-forward regulation leads to different dynamics of pathway activity, which in turn alters cell fate.Moreover, they show that by considering the timescales of the feedback regulations,the different cellular responses can be triggered with pulsed stimulations by a single ligand.

It's All about Timing
In the formation of long-term memories, a "spaced" distribution of study sessions is more beneficial than closely spaced "massed" study sessions. Pagani et al. (2009) examine the molecular basis of this spacing effect in Drosophila and find a role for the SHP2 homolog, corkscrew, an activator of Ras/MAPK signaling, in establishing optimal spacing intervals.

Monetary policy is one of the most important macroeconomic policies which could be used for achieving economic targets such as reducing the output gap and reducing the inflation's deviation from it's target level. These policies can be implemented through the control of volume of money or the rate of interest. Based on economic theories, the Central Bank should conduct monetary policies w...
متن کاملWhat Can Actors Teach Robots About Interaction?
In social interactions, the appropriate timing of physical actions is of vital importance. Otherwise appropriate actions performed at the wrong time can completely alter their perceived meaning. In this paper, we propose an approach to developing a physical vocabulary for human-robot interaction that uses trained actors as models of appropriate timing and gestures. We describe out initial work ...
متن کاملNumerical study of the effect of fuel injection timing on the ignition delay, performance parameters and exhaust emission of gas/dual fuel diesel engine using Computational Fluid Dynamics
Today, due to the various usage of compression ignition engines in urban transportation, as well as the need to reduce exhaust emissions and control fuel consumption, the use of alternative fuels has become common in diesel engines. Gaseous fuel is one of the most common alternative fuels that can be used in diesel engines. The utilization of alternative fuels in compression ignition engines re...
متن کاملCombined effect of ignition and injection timing along with hydrogen enrichment to natural gas in a direct injection engine on performance and exhaust emission
To improve the engine performance and reduce emissions, factors such as changing ignition and injection timing along with converting of port injection system to direct injection in SI(spark-ignited) engines and hydrogen enrichment to CNG fuel at WOT conditions have a great importance. In this work, which was investigated experimentally (for CNG engine) and theoretically (for combustion Eddy Bre...
