Personalized liver function tests: A Multiscale Computational Model Predicts Individual Human Liver Function From Single-Cell Metabolism

Understanding how liver function arises from the complex interaction of morphology, perfusion, and metabolism from single cells up to the entire organ requires systems-levels computational approaches. We report a multiscale mathematical model of the Human liver comprising the scales from single hepatocytes, over representation of ultra-structure and micro-circulation ...

Pyruvate kinase (PYK, EC 2.7.1.40) is a key step in glycolysis converting phosphoenolpyruvate into pyruvate. The activity of PYK is activator-dependent, with the allosteric activation mostly being due to fructose-1,6-bisphosphate (FBP).

we describe a multi-compartmental model consisting of a mesophyll cell with plastid and mitochondrion, a phloem cell, as well as a root cell with mitochondrion. In this model, the phloem was considered as a non-growing transport compartment, the mesophyll compartment was considered as both autotrophic (growing on CO2 under light) and heterotrophic (growing on starch in darkness), and the root was always considered as heterotrophic tissue completely dependent on sucrose supply from the mesophyll ...

A set of isogenic mutant strains was constructed which lack NADH Dehydrogenase I as well as two terminal oxidases, resulting in strains with linear respiratory chain. The different strains hence differ in the terminal oxidase and express either cytochrome bo, cytochrome bdI or cytochrome bdII. The different strains were cultivated in glucose-limited chemostats with defined low levels of oxygen supply. Biomass and by-product formation, gene expression and the phosphorylation state of the important ...

Validation. Validated against original implementation running under GNU FORTRAN 95. To allow the maximum flexiblity during validation the original FORTRAN code was modified slightly (note that no code lines were deleted). The code was run with high precision so that values were directly comparable with those in Simile even after hundreds of thousands of iterations. The values of all the variables in the original code were printed to the screen so that they could be checked against their Simile ...

Lactic acid bacteria generally use homolactic fermentation for generation of ATP. Here we studied the role of Arginine and Glutamine metabolism on the general physiology of the lactic acid bacteria Streptococcus pyogenes. A deletion mutant of glnA (glutamine synthetase) has been constructed in the S. pyogenes M49 591 background. The glnA mutant strain shows decreased growth in low glutamine and excess glutamate conditions and no growth at all in low glutamine and low glutamate conditions. An arcA ...

During the last few years scientists became increasingly aware that average data obtained from microbial population based experiments are not representative of the behavior, status or phenotype of single cells. Due to this new insight the number of single cell studies rises continuously (for recent reviews see (1,2,3)). However, many of the single cell techniques applied do not allow monitoring the development and behavior of one specific single cell in time (e.g. flow cytometry or standard ...

In this study, we developed an automated and reproducible workflow for transcriptomics data analysis using network biology approaches. The analyses are fully automated in R with clusterProfiler and RCy3 to connect to the widely adopted network analysis software Cytoscape including the CyTargetLinker app for network extension. For demonstration, we use a publicly available dataset from Blanco-Melo et al., GSE147507 obtained from GEO. After pre-processing with DESeq2, the dataset contains log2 fold ...

A cell-level model of the Arabidopsis root elongation zone. This spatial model is divided up into biological cells which are further divided into simulation boxes. The original model was designed to investigate how canal cells can accumulate auxin over time rather than to investigate the transport of auxin through the canal cells per se. The main outputs of the simulations in the original paper were the steady state ratios of auxin in the canal cell protoplasts to that in the parenchyma cell ...
