The analysis of non-equilibrium steady states of biochemical reaction networks relies on finding the configurations of fluxes and chemical potentials satisfying stoichiometric (mass balance) and thermodynamic (energy balance) constraints.…
Homeostasis is widely observed in biological systems and refers to their ability to maintain an output quantity approximately constant despite variations in external disturbances. Mathematically, homeostasis can be formulated through an…
The recent discovery of universal principles underlying many complex networks occurring across a wide range of length scales in the biological world has spurred physicists in trying to understand such features using techniques from…
Time-discrete dynamical systems on a finite state space have been used with great success to model natural and engineered systems such as biological networks, social networks, and engineered control systems. They have the advantage of being…
The network paradigm is increasingly used to describe the topology and dynamics of complex systems. Here we review the results of the topological analysis of protein structures as molecular networks describing their small-world character,…
To develop and investigate detailed mathematical models of cellular metabolic processes is one of the primary challenges in systems biology. However, despite considerable advance in the topological analysis of metabolic networks, explicit…
The analysis of biological networks is characterized by the definition of precise linear constraints used to cumulatively reduce the solution space of the computed states of a multi-omic (for instance metabolic, transcriptomic and…
Understanding the mechanisms of interactions within cells, tissues, and organisms is crucial to driving developments across biology and medicine. Mathematical modeling is an essential tool for simulating biological systems and revealing…
Biological functions in living cells are controlled by protein interaction and genetic networks. These molecular networks should be dynamically stable against various fluctuations which are inevitable in the living world. In this paper, we…
Cellular bioelectricity describes the biological phenomenon in which cells in living tissue generate and maintain patterns of voltage gradients induced by differing concentrations of charged ions. A growing body of research suggests that…
Thresholding--the pruning of nodes or edges based on their properties or weights--is an essential preprocessing tool for extracting interpretable structure from complex network data, yet existing methods face several key limitations.…
Motivation: Many biochemical pathways are known, but the numerous parameters required to correctly explore the dynamics of the pathways are not known. For this reason, algorithms that can make inferences by looking at the topology of a…
Modelling gene regulatory networks not only requires a thorough understanding of the biological system depicted but also the ability to accurately represent this system from a mathematical perspective. Throughout this chapter, we aim to…
Interactions between biomolecules, electrons and protons are essential to many fundamental processes sustaining life. It is therefore of interest to build mathematical models of these bioelectrical processes not only to enhance…
Discriminating between correct and incorrect substrates is a core process in biology but how is energy apportioned between the conflicting demands of accuracy ($\mu$), speed ($\sigma$) and total entropy production rate ($P$)? Previous…
We introduce a framework for analyzing ordinary differential equation (ODE) models of biological networks using statistical model checking (SMC). A key aspect of our work is the modeling of single-cell variability by assigning a probability…
The methodology named LIFE (Linear-in-Flux-Expressions) was developed with the purpose of simulating and analyzing large metabolic systems. With LIFE, the number of model parameters is reduced by accounting for correlations among the…
Examining individual components of cellular systems has been successful in uncovering molecular reactions and interactions. However, the challenge lies in integrating these components into a comprehensive system-scale map. This difficulty…
The concept of robustness of regulatory networks has been closely related to the nature of the interactions among genes, and the capability of pattern maintenance or reproducibility. Defining this robustness property is a challenging task,…
To maintain homeostasis, living cells process information with networks of interacting molecules. Traditional models for cellular information processing have focused on networks of chemical reactions between molecules. Here, we describe how…
