Abstract:
A model of the expression of gap genes during the early development of Drosophila embryo has been studied. The parameter values for the model have been obtained by fitting the solutions to experimental patterns under an additional assumption of the asymptotic stability of solutions at large times. The patterns at the beginning of gastrulation in these solutions are very close to the actual attractor in the model. It is shown that these solutions have a better stability, or robustness, to perturbations of concentrations and parameter values in the model.

01:25Modeling with Differential Equations
Population dynamics can be described mathematically by considering the population size P(t) as a function of time. The rate of change of the population is then represented by the derivative of P(t). A simple assumption is that the rate of growth is proportional to the size of the population itself. This leads to an exponential growth model, where the population increases rapidly without bound. While this is a useful first approximation, it does not reflect realistic long-term...
01:27Gap Junctions
The cytoplasm of adjacent animal cells can exchange small molecules, ions, and secondary messengers via the communication channels which form the gap junctions. These junctions comprise a few hundred to thousands of molecular channels, each made of two halves, called the connexon hemichannel. A connexon is a hexamer of six transmembrane connexin proteins, which assemble radially, thus forming a pore or channel in the center. One connexon hemichannel docks with a corresponding connexon on the...
