- 1From: BMC Systems Biology. (Vol. 8) Peer-ReviewedBackground Bacterial spores are important contaminants in food, and the spore forming bacteria are often implicated in food safety and food quality considerations. Spore formation is a complex developmental process...
- 2From: BMC Systems Biology. (Vol. 8, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedAuthor(s): Yun-Bo Zhao1 and J Krishnan1 Background mRNA translation is a ubiquitous process seen in almost all biological systems. In this process, the genetic codons are translated from mRNA to protein by...
- 3From: BMC Systems Biology. (Vol. 8, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground Modeling biological networks serves as both a major goal and an effective tool of systems biology in studying mechanisms that orchestrate the activities of gene products in cells. Biological networks are...
- 4From: BMC Systems Biology. (Vol. 8, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground In photosynthetic organisms, the influence of light, carbon and inorganic nitrogen sources on the cellular bioenergetics has extensively been studied independently, but little information is available on...
- 5From: BMC Systems Biology. (Vol. 8, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedAuthor(s): Wei-Po Lee1 , Yu-Ting Hsiao1 and Wei-Che Hwang1 Background Model Gene regulatory networks (GRNs) play important roles in genetic systems and are involved in various biological processes during the...
- 6From: BMC Systems Biology. (Vol. 8, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedAuthor(s): Kristin Tandel1,2 , Steven A Niederer1 , Sander Land1 and Nicolas P Smith1 Background Models in computational biology are becoming increasingly complex, as in-silico frameworks are expanded to account...
- 7From: BMC Systems Biology. (Vol. 8, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedAuthor(s): Jialiang Yang1,2 , Stefan Grünewald3 , Yifei Xu1 and Xiu-Feng Wan1 Background In the natural history of life, recombination, reassortant, hybridization and horizontal gene transfer (HGT) represent four...
- 8From: BMC Systems Biology. (Vol. 8, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedAuthor(s): Dan Tian1 and Pamela K Kreeger1,2 Background The insulin-like growth factor (IGF) network plays critical roles in development, normal tissue maintenance, and diseases such as cancer by regulating cell...
- 9From: BMC Systems Biology. (Vol. 8, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground Neurodegenerative dementia comprises chronic and progressive illnesses with major clinical features represented by progressive and permanent loss of cognitive and mental performance, including impairment...
- 10From: BMC Systems Biology. (Vol. 8, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground Non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) are emerging as key regulators of many cellular processes in both physiological and pathological states. Moreover, the constant discovery of new non-coding RNA species suggests...
- 11From: BMC Systems Biology. (Vol. 8, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground The immune system of vertebrates has evolved the ability to mount highly elaborate responses to a broad range of pathogen-driven threats. Accordingly, it is quite a challenge to understand how a primitive...
- 12From: BMC Systems Biology. (Vol. 8, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground In multicellular organisms, an intercellular signaling network communicates information from the environment or distant tissues to defined target cells. Intercellular signaling (mostly mediated by...
- 13From: BMC Systems Biology. (Vol. 8, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground Despite promising progress in targeted breast cancer therapy, drug resistance remains challenging. The monoclonal antibody drugs trastuzumab and pertuzumab as well as the small molecule inhibitor erlotinib...
- 14From: BMC Systems Biology. (Vol. 8, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedAuthor(s): Emad Fadhal1 , Eric C Mwambene2 and Junaid Gamieldien1 Background In order to develop an understanding of the roles of proteins in cellular dynamics, especially for the purposes of uncovering key...
- 15From: BMC Systems Biology. (Vol. 8, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedAuthor(s): Charles CN Wang1 , Pei-Chun Chang1 , Ka-Lok Ng1 , Chun-Ming Chang2 , Phillip CY Sheu1,4 and Jeffrey JP Tsai1,3 Background Arabidopsis thaliana is a plant in the mustard family that has been frequently...
- 16From: BMC Systems Biology. (Vol. 8, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedAuthor(s): Zhenzhen Zheng1,4,5,7 , Scott Christley6 , William T Chiu2 , Ira L Blitz2 , Xiaohui Xie3 , Ken WY Cho2 and Qing Nie1,4,5 Background Detailed gene regulatory networks (GRNs) in a number of invertebrate...
- 17From: BMC Systems Biology. (Vol. 8, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedAuthor(s): Andrew E Blanchard1 , Venhar Celik2 and Ting Lu1,2,3 Background Bacteria are highly social and present dominantly in the form of complex communities where they interact through a variety of fashions...
- 18From: BMC Systems Biology. (Vol. 8, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedAuthor(s): Nikolaos A Papanikolaou1 , Andrej Tillinger2 , Xiaoping Liu2,3 , Athanasios G Papavassiliou4 and Esther L Sabban2 Background The adrenal medulla plays a key role in the response to acute and chronic...
- 19From: BMC Systems Biology. (Vol. 8, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedAuthor(s): Wei Zhu1 and Yi-Ping Phoebe Chen1 Review Brief introduction to MicroRNA and protein-protein interaction networks MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a subset of small (~22 nucleotide - structural units of RNA and...
- 20From: BMC Systems Biology. (Vol. 8, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground Recent findings suggest that in pancreatic acinar cells stimulated with bile acid, a pro-apoptotic effect of reactive oxygen species (ROS) dominates their effect on necrosis and spreading of inflammation....
