Modeling the Ascorbate-Glutathione Cycle in Chloroplasts under Light/Dark Conditions
(Biomed Central, 2016-01-22)
Background: Light/dark cycles are probably the most important environmental signals that regulate plant development. Light is essential for photosynthesis, but an excess, in combination with the unavoidable presence of ...
Cell Motility and Cancer
(MDPI, 2020-08-05)
Cell migration is an essential systemic behavior, tightly regulated, of all living cells endowed with directional motility that is involved in the major developmental stages of all complex organisms such as morphogenesis, ...
The Metabolic Core and Catalytic Switches Are Fundamental Elements in the Self-Regulation of the Systemic Metabolic Structure of Cells
(Public Library of Science, 2011-11-18)
Background: Experimental observations and numerical studies with dissipative metabolic networks have shown that cellular enzymatic activity self-organizes spontaneously leading to the emergence of a metabolic core formed ...
Estimation of preterm labor immediacy by nonlinear methods
(Public Library Science, 2017-06-01)
Preterm delivery affects about one tenth of human births and is associated with an increased perinatal morbimortality as well as with remarkable costs. Even if there are a number of predictors and markers of preterm delivery, ...
Global Self-Regulation of the Cellular Metabolic Structure
(Public Library of Science, 2010-03-02)
Background: Different studies have shown that cellular enzymatic activities are able to self-organize spontaneously, forming a metabolic core of reactive processes that remain active under different growth conditions while ...
Weighted lambda superstrings applied to vaccine design
(Public Library Science, 2019-02-08)
We generalize the notion of lambda-superstrings, presented in a previous paper, to the notion of weighted lambda-superstrings. This generalization entails an important improvement in the applications to vaccine designs, ...
Evidence of conditioned behavior in amoebae
(Nature, 2019-08-15)
Associative memory is the main type of learning by which complex organisms endowed with evolved nervous systems respond efficiently to certain environmental stimuli. It has been found in different multicellular species, ...
On the Dynamics of the Adenylate Energy System: Homeorhesis vs Homeostasis
(Public Library Science, 2014-10-10)
Biochemical energy is the fundamental element that maintains both the adequate turnover of the biomolecular structures and the functional metabolic viability of unicellular organisms. The levels of ATP, ADP and AMP reflect ...
