1. Insulin signaling dynamics in human adipocytes : Mathematical modeling reveals mechanisms of insulin resistance in type 2 diabetes
Abstract : Type 2 diabetes is characterized by raised blood glucose levels caused by an insufficient insulin control of glucose homeostasis. This lack of control is expressed both through insufficient release of insulin by the pancreatic beta-cells, and through insulin resistance in the insulin-responding tissues. READ MORE

2. A comprehensive dynamic model of the adipocyte
Abstract : The adipose tissue contributes to energy homeostasis by storing excess energy as triglycerides when the energy status is high, and by releasing fatty acids when the energy status is low. In addition to the involvement in energy homeostasis, the adipose tissue also has a function of hormonal control exerted by the release of adipokines such as adiponectin. READ MORE

3. High Confidence Network Predictions from Big Biological Data
Abstract : Biology functions in a most intriguing fashion, with human cells being regulated by multiplex networks of proteins and their dependent systems that control everything from proliferation to cell death. Notably, there are cases when these networks fail to function properly. READ MORE
