چکیده
A new paper in Science reveals how repetitive stimulation can identify and help to repair fragilities within a signaling network, while using linear mathematical models inspired by engineering, thereby suggesting how cybernetic methods can be integrated into systems and synthetic biology.

Retrograde Transport Redux
Trafficking of trophic factors in axons can occur in a retrograde and anterograde direction. Recent findings bring further support for a vesicle-based process for retrograde transport but raise new questions that need to be pursued. Unraveling the exact mechanisms that account for retrograde transport of neurotrophins and their receptors will reveal the cellular requirements for propagating tro...
متن کاملApplication of a Heuristic Cybernetic Model in Peer-reviewing Process of Scholarly Papers
Background and Aim: This study attempts to show the cybernetics approach on peer reviewing articles to recommend an appropriate solution for increasing the qualitative level of published articles in scientific journals. Method: Heuristic Cybernetics method is suggested, based on the scientific experiences of related researches and also the mathematical principles that is an appropriate formed s...
متن کاملReductionism Redux: Computing the Embryo
This paper argues that the consensus physicalist antireductionism in the philosophy of biology cannot accommodate the research strategy or indeed the recent findings of molecular developmental biology. After describing Wolpert’s programmatic claims on its behalf, and recent work by Gehring and others to identify the molecular determinants of development, the paper attempts to identify the relat...
متن کاملTowards Clinical Bioinformatics: Redux 2015.
In 2004, medical informatics as a scientific community recognized an emerging field of "clinical bioinformatics" that included work bringing bioinformatics data and knowledge into the clinic. In the intervening decade, "translational biomedical informatics" has emerged as the umbrella term for the work that brings together biological entities and clinical entities. The major challenges continue...
متن کاملBioSig: an imaging bioinformatics system for phenotypic analysis
Organisms express their genomes in a cell-specific manner, resulting in a variety of cellular phenotypes or phenomes. Mapping cell phenomes under a variety of experimental conditions is necessary in order to understand the responses of organisms to stimuli. Representing such data requires an integrated view of experimental and informatic protocols. The proposed system, named BioSig, provides th...
