The NF-kB signalling system is involved in a variety of cellular processes including immune response, inflammation, and apoptosis. Recent experiments have found oscillations in the nuclear-cytoplasmic translocation of the NF-kB…
NF-kB is a major transcription factor mediating inflammatory response. In response to pro-inflammatory stimulus, it exhibits characteristic response -- a pulse followed by noisy oscillations in concentrations of considerably smaller…
NF-{\kappa}B, one of key regulators of inflammation, apoptosis, and differentiation, was found to have noisy oscillatory shuttling between the nucleus and the cytoplasm in single cells when cells are stimulated by cytokine TNF{\alpha}. We…
NF-{\kappa}B is a pleiotropic protein whose nucleo-cytoplasmic trafficking is tightly regulated by multiple negative feedback loops embedded in the NF-{\kappa}B signaling network and contributes to diverse gene expression profiles important…
Tumor Necrosis Factor alpha (TNF) initiates a complex series of biochemical events in the cell upon binding to its type R1 receptor (TNF-R1). Recent experimental work has unravelled the molecular regulation of the recruitment of initial…
Stochastic resonance induced by external factor is considering to investigate the complex dynamics of tumor. The surrounding environment and the treatment effects on the tumor growth are considered as additive and multiplicative noises in…
The presence of noise in non linear dynamical systems can play a constructive role, increasing the degree of order and coherence or evoking improvements in the performance of the system. An example of this positive influence in a biological…
In this work we study the synchronization of Kuramoto oscillators driven by external forces in complex modular networks. The motivation is the neuronal dynamics that takes place during information processing in the neural cortex. The neuron…
Brain oscillations exhibit long-range temporal correlations (LRTCs), which reflect the regularity of their fluctuations: low values representing more random (decorrelated) while high values more persistent (correlated) dynamics. LRTCs…
The nuclear-cytoplasmic shuttling of NF-kB is characterized by damped oscillations of the nuclear concentration with a time period of around 1-2 hours. The NF-kB network contains several feedback loops modulating the overall response of…
Synchronization, a ubiquitous phenomenon in classical systems, has recently been extended to the quantum domain. Here, we show quantum synchronization of a bosonic mode exhibiting a Fock state-like limit cycle, manifesting as a steady state…
Nonlinear oscillations and synchronisation phenomena are ubiquitous in nature. We study the synchronization of self oscillating magneto-optically trapped cold atoms to a weak external driving. The oscillations arise from a dynamical…
The effect of a temporal modulation at three times the critical frequency on a Hopf bifurcation is studied in the framework of amplitude equations. We consider a complex Ginzburg-Landau equation with an extra quadratic term, resulting from…

Population-wide oscillations are ubiquitously observed in mesoscopic signals of cortical activity. In these network states a global oscillatory cycle modulates the propensity of neurons to fire. Synchronous activation of neurons has been…
When two systems are coupled, the driver system can function as an external forcing over the driven or response system. Also, an external forcing can independently perturb the driven system, leading us to examine the interplay between the…
We consider a generalization of the Kuramoto model in which phase oscillators are represented by unit vectors coupled by a matrix of constant coefficients. We show that, when the oscillators are driven by an external periodic force, several…
Local periodic perturbations induce frequency-dependent propagation waves in an excitable spatio-temporally chaotic system. We show how segments of noise-contaminated and chaotic perturbations induce characteristic sequences of excitations…
Turbulent reacting flows confined to ducts are plagued by thermoacoustic instability, a state in which a positive feedback between flow, flame and acoustic perturbations leads to the emergence of catastrophically high-amplitude oscillatory…
Oscillations of the transcription factor NF-kappa B have been observed experimentally both for cell populations by Hoffmann et al. (2002) and for single cells by Nelson et al. (2004). The latter experiments show significant cell-to-cell…
