چکیده
Keratin intermediate lament networks are part of the cytoskeleton in epithelial cells. They were found to regulate viscoelastic properties and motility of cancer cells. Due to unique biochemical properties of keratin polymers, the knowledge of the mechanisms controlling keratin network formation is incomplete. A combination of deterministic and stochastic modeling techniques can be a valuable source of information since

متن کاملThe Laplacian in a stochastic model for spatiotemporal reaction systems
We demonstrate how the Laplace operator can be combined with a stochastic jump process to describe the evolution of a polymer network. Growth processes in polymer networks can proceed through the transfer of rather large oligomeric subunits from a pool of soluble molecules into the laments forming the network. In such a situation stochastic jump processes are a natural tool for the description ...
متن کاملPiecewise Deterministic Markov Processes for Continuous-Time Monte Carlo
Recently there have been conceptually new developments in Monte Carlo methods through the introduction of new MCMC and sequential Monte Carlo (SMC) algorithms which are based on continuous-time, rather than discrete-time, Markov processes. This has led to some fundamentally new Monte Carlo algorithms which can be used to sample from, say, a posterior distribution. Interestingly, continuous-time...
متن کاملOn time reversal of piecewise deterministic Markov processes
We study the time reversal of a general Piecewise Deterministic Markov Process (PDMP). The time reversed process is defined as X(T−t)−, where T is some given time and Xt is a stationary PDMP. We obtain the parameters of the reversed process, like the jump intensity and the jump measure.
متن کاملConvergence of stochastic gene networks to hybrid piecewise deterministic processes
We study the asymptotic behavior of multiscale stochastic gene networks using weak limits of Markov jump processes. Depending on the time and concentration scales of the system we distinguish four types of limits: continuous piecewise deterministic processes (PDP) with switching, PDP with jumps in the continuous variables, averaged PDP, and PDP with singular switching. We justify rigorously the...
