    Abstract In favorable conditions, eukaryotic cells proceed irreversibly through the cell division cycle (G1-S-G2-M) in order to produce two daughter cells with the same number and identity of chromosomes of their progenitor. The integrity of this process is maintained by 'checkpoints' that hold a cell at particular transition points of the cycle until all requisite events are completed. The crucial functions of these checkpoints seem to depend on irreversible bistability of the underlying checkpoint control systems. Bistability of cell cycle transitions has been confirmed experimentally in frog egg extracts, budding yeast cells and mammalian cells. For fission yeast cells, a recent paper by Patterson et al. (2021) provides experimental evidence for an abrupt transition from G2 phase into mitosis, and we show that these data are consistent with a stochastic model of a bistable switch governing the G2/M checkpoint. Interestingly, our model suggests that their experimental data could also be explained by a reversible/sigmoidal switch, and stochastic simulations confirm this supposition. We propose a simple modification of their experimental protocol that could provide convincing evidence for (or against) bistability of the G2/M transition in fission yeast.

    Abstract In the last 20 years, a growing army of systems biologists has employed quantitative experimental methods and theoretical tools of data analysis and mathematical modeling to unravel the molecular details of biological control systems with novel studies of biochemical clocks, cellular decision-making, and signaling networks in time and space. Few people know that one of the roots of this new paradigm in cell biology can be traced to a serendipitous discovery by an obscure Russian biochemist, Boris Belousov, who was studying the oxidation of citric acid. The story is told here from an historical perspective, tracing its meandering path through glycolytic oscillations, cAMP signaling, and frog egg development. The connections among these diverse themes are drawn out by simple mathematical models (nonlinear differential equations) that share common structures and properties.

    Abstract Large-scale protein regulatory networks, such as signal transduction systems, contain small-scale modules ('motifs') that carry out specific dynamical functions. Systematic characterization of the properties of small network motifs is therefore of great interest to molecular systems biologists. We simulate a generic model of three-node motifs in search of near-perfect adaptation, the property that a system responds transiently to a change in an environmental signal and then returns near-perfectly to its pre-signal state (even in the continued presence of the signal). Using an evolutionary algorithm, we search the parameter space of these generic motifs for network topologies that score well on a pre-defined measure of near-perfect adaptation. We find many high-scoring parameter sets across a variety of three-node topologies. Of all possibilities, the highest scoring topologies contain incoherent feed-forward loops (IFFLs), and these topologies are evolutionarily stable in the sense that, under 'macro-mutations' that alter the topology of a network, the IFFL motif is consistently maintained. Topologies that rely on negative feedback loops with buffering (NFLBs) are also high-scoring; however, they are not evolutionarily stable in the sense that, under macro-mutations, they tend to evolve an IFFL motif and may-or may not-lose the NFLB motif.

    Abstract Cell growth, DNA replication, mitosis and division are the fundamental processes by which life is passed on from one generation of eukaryotic cells to the next. The eukaryotic cell cycle is intrinsically a periodic process but not so much a 'clock' as a 'copy machine', making new daughter cells as warranted. Cells growing under ideal conditions divide with clock-like regularity; however, if they are challenged with DNA-damaging agents or mitotic spindle disrupters, they will not progress to the next stage of the cycle until the damage is repaired. These 'decisions' (to exit and re-enter the cell cycle) are essential to maintain the integrity of the genome from generation to generation. A crucial challenge for molecular cell biologists in the 1990s was to unravel the genetic and biochemical mechanisms of cell cycle control in eukaryotes. Central to this effort were biochemical studies of the clock-like regulation of 'mitosis promoting factor' during synchronous mitotic cycles of fertilized frog eggs and genetic studies of the switch-like regulation of 'cyclin-dependent kinases' in yeast cells. In this review, we uncover some secrets of cell cycle regulation by mathematical modelling of increasingly more complex molecular regulatory networks of cell cycle 'clocks' and 'switches'.

    Abstract Individual biological organisms are characterized by daunting heterogeneity, which precludes describing or understanding populations of 'patients' with a single mathematical model. Recently, the field of quantitative systems pharmacology (QSP) has adopted the notion of virtual patients (VPs) to cope with this challenge. A typical population of VPs represents the behavior of a heterogeneous patient population with a distribution of parameter values over a mathematical model of fixed structure. Though this notion of VPs is a powerful tool to describe patients' heterogeneity, the analysis and understanding of these VPs present new challenges to systems pharmacologists. Here, using a model of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis, we show that an integrated pipeline that combines machine learning (ML) and bifurcation analysis can be used to effectively and efficiently analyse the behaviors observed in populations of VPs. Compared with local sensitivity analyses, ML allows us to capture and analyse the contributions of simultaneous changes of multiple model parameters. Following up with bifurcation analysis, we are able to provide rigorous mechanistic insight regarding the influences of ML-identified parameters on the dynamical system's behaviors. In this work, we illustrate the utility of this pipeline and suggest that its wider adoption will facilitate the use of VPs in the practice of systems pharmacology.

    Abstract Introduction: Imprinted genes are expressed from one parental allele as a consequence of epigenetic processes initiated in the germline. Consequently, their ability to influence phenotype depends on their parent-of-origin. Recent research suggests that the sex of the individual expressing the imprinted gene is also important.

    Methods: WT female mice were mated with WT, heterozygous
