Statistical analysis of 3D localisation microscopy images for quantification of membrane protein distributions in a platelet clot model
We present the software platform CALM that allows for a comparative analysis of D localisation microscopy data representing protein distributions in two biological samples The indepth statistical analysis reveals differences between samples at the nanoscopic level
Early transmission of sensitive strain slows down emergence of drug resistance in Plasmodium vivax
The spread of drug resistance of Plasmodium falciparum and Plasmodium vivax parasites is a challenge towards malaria elimination P falciparum has shown an early and severe drug resistance in comparison to P vivax in various countries
A systematic evaluation of Mycobacterium tuberculosis Genome-Scale Metabolic Networks
Metabolism underpins the pathogenic strategy of the causative agent of TB Mycobacterium tuberculosis Mtb and therefore metabolic pathways have recently reemerged as attractive drug targets A powerful approach to study Mtb metabolism as a whole
Benchmarking Predictions of MHC Class I Restricted T Cell Epitopes in a Comprehensively Studied Model System
T cell epitope candidates are commonly identified using computational prediction tools in order to enable applications such as vaccine design cancer neoantigen identification development of diagnostics and removal of unwanted immune responses against protein therapeutics
In Silico Analysis of Hypoxia Activated Prodrugs in Combination with Anti Angiogenic Therapy through Nanocell Delivery
Tumour hypoxia is a wellstudied phenomenon with implications in cancer progression treatment resistance and patient survival While a clear adverse prognosticator hypoxia is also a theoretically ideal target for guided drug delivery
Balance between Asymmetry and Abundance in Multi-Domain DNA-Binding Proteins may Regulate the Kinetics of their Binding to DNA
DNA sequences are often recognized by multidomain proteins that may have higher affinity and specificity than singledomain proteins However the higher affinity to DNA might be coupled with slower recognition kinetics In this study we address this balance between stability and kinetics for multidomain CysHis CH type zincfinger ZF proteins
Predicting Host Taxonomic information from Viral Genomes: A comparison of Feature Representations
The rise in metagenomics has led to an exponential growth in virus discovery However the majority of these new virus sequences have no assigned host Current machine learning approaches to predicting virus host interactions have a tendency
Network Mechanisms and Dysfunction within an Integrated Computational Model of Progression through Mitosis in the Human Cell Cycle
The cellular proteinprotein interaction network that governs cellular proliferation cell cycle is highly complex Here we have developed a novel computational model of human mitotic cell cycle integrating diverse cellular mechanisms
3D Mesh Processing using GAMer 2 to enable Reaction-Diffusion Simulations in Realistic Cellular Geometries
Recent advances in electron microscopy have enabled the imaging of single cells in D at nanometer length scale resolutions An uncharted frontier for in silico biology is the ability to simulate cellular processes using these observed geometries
The Research and Development Process for Multiscale Models of Infectious Disease Systems
Multiscale modelling of infectious disease systems falls within the domain of complexity sciencethe study of complex systems However what should be made clear is that current progress in multiscale modelling of infectious disease dynamics is still as yet insufficient to present it as a mature subdiscipline of complexity science
