    Osmolyte homeostasis controls single-cell growth rate and maximum cell size of Saccharomyces cerevisiae

    Cell growth is well described at the population level, but precisely how nutrient and water uptake and cell wall expansion drive the growth of single cells is poorly understood. Supported by measurements of si...

    Transcriptional timing and noise of yeast cell cycle regulators—a single cell and single molecule approach

    Gene expression is a stochastic process and its appropriate regulation is critical for cell cycle progression. Cellular stress response necessitates expression reprogramming and cell cycle arrest. While previo...

    A Clb/Cdk1-mediated regulation of Fkh2 synchronizes CLB expression in the budding yeast cell cycle

    Precise timing of cell division is achieved by coupling waves of cyclin-dependent kinase (Cdk) activity with a transcriptional oscillator throughout cell cycle progression. Although details of transcription of...

    The game theory of Candida albicans colonization dynamics reveals host status-responsive gene expression

    The fungal pathogen Candida albicans colonizes the gastrointestinal (GI) tract of mammalian hosts as a benign commensal. However, in an immunocompromised host, the fungus is capable of causing life-threatening in...

    Network reconstruction and validation of the Snf1/AMPK pathway in baker’s yeast based on a comprehensive literature review

    The SNF1/AMPK protein kinase has a central role in energy homeostasis in eukaryotic cells. It is activated by energy depletion and stimulates processes leading to the production of ATP while it downregulates A...

    Stochastic simulation of Boolean rxncon models: towards quantitative analysis of large signaling networks

    Cellular decision-making is governed by molecular networks that are highly complex. An integrative understanding of these networks on a genome wide level is essential to understand cellular health and disease....

    Global dynamic optimization approach to predict activation in metabolic pathways

    During the last decade, a number of authors have shown that the genetic regulation of metabolic networks may follow optimality principles. Optimal control theory has been succesfully used to compute optimal en...

    Reaction-contingency based bipartite Boolean modelling

    Intracellular signalling systems are highly complex, rendering mathematical modelling of large signalling networks infeasible or impractical. Boolean modelling provides one feasible approach to whole-network m...

    Monte Carlo analysis of an ODE Model of the Sea Urchin Endomesoderm Network

    Gene Regulatory Networks (GRNs) control the differentiation, specification and function of cells at the genomic level. The levels of interactions within large GRNs are of enormous depth and complexity. Details...
