1. 6. Simulate Bacterial Movement through Chemotaxis

   University essay from Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för data- och informationsteknik

   Author : Rasmus Durgé; Johan Ek; Jonny Fredriksson; Emil Logren; Mohamad Melhem; Rik Muijs; [2021-09-14]
   Keywords : chemotaxis; computational biology; agent-based simulation; Unity engine;

   Abstract : This thesis describes the development of an agent-based simulation of E. coli chemotaxis in C# and the Unity game engine. The agents use a mathematical model of the chemical pathway underlying chemotaxis to produce either forward-motion (running) or rotation (tumbling), in response to the concentration of ligand in their immediate environment.

3. 7. Mathematical modeling of fatty acid metabolism during consecutive meals and fasting : New insights into fatty acid regulation based on arterio-venous data

   University essay from Linköpings universitet/Institutionen för medicinsk teknik

   Author : Kajsa Tunedal; [2021]
   Keywords : Systems Biology; fatty acid metabolism; modeling;

   Abstract : Obesity, type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases are major problems in today's society, causing millions of deaths every year. One of the main risk factors for these diseases is a dysregulation of the fatty acid metabolism, where the balance between release and uptake of fatty acids is disturbed. READ MORE

4. 8. Neural response of a Neuron population : A mathematical modelling approach

   University essay from Linköpings universitet/Avdelningen för medicinsk teknik

   Author : Henrik Podéus; [2021]
   Keywords : Neurovascular coupling; The brain; Mathematical modelling; Systems Biology; Neural communication;

   Abstract : The brain – the organ that allows us to be aware of our surroundings – consists of a complex network of neurons, which seemingly allows the human brain to be able of abstract thinking, emotions, and cognitive function. To learn how the brain is capable of this, the two main branches of neuroscience study either neurons in detail, or how they communicate within neuronal networks. READ MORE

5. 9. Can you trust your model? A showcase study of validation in 13C metabolic flux analysis

   University essay from Linköpings universitet/Institutionen för medicinsk teknik

   Author : Nicolas Sundqvist; [2019]
   Keywords : Systems Biology; MFA; 13C MFA; Validation; EMU; Modelling;

   Abstract : Cellular metabolism is one of the most fundamental systems for any living organisms, involving thousands of metabolites and reactions that forms large interconnected metabolic networks. Proper and comprehensive understanding of the metabolism in human cells has been a field of research for a long time. READ MORE

6. 10. Patterning of the neural tube: A 3D computational modelling approach

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för astronomi och teoretisk fysik - Genomgår omorganisation; Lunds universitet/Beräkningsbiologi och biologisk fysik - Genomgår omorganisation

   Author : Ariane Ernst; [2019]
   Keywords : gene regulatory networks; neural tube patterning; patterning of the neural tube; dopaminergic neurons; parkinson s disease; computational modelling; stem cell; GRN; Biology and Life Sciences; Physics and Astronomy;

   Abstract : Neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson’s can be treated with stem-cell derived specialized neurons. In order to achieve precise directed neural differentiation in vitro we need to understand the gene regulatory mechanisms behind in vivo neural tube patterning. READ MORE
