Cell biophysics (or cellular biophysics) is a sub-field of biophysics that focuses on physical principles underlying cell function. Sub-areas of current interest include statistical models of intracellular signaling dynamics, intracellular transport, cell mechanics (including membrane and cytoskeletal mechanics), molecular motors, biological electricity and genetic network theory.
Cell Collective [3] is a modeling software that enables one to house dynamical biological data, build computational models, stimulate, break and recreate models. The development is led by Tomas Helikar, [ 4 ] a researcher within the field of computational biology.
His formal test favoured the existence of a universal common ancestry over a wide class of alternative hypotheses that included horizontal gene transfer. Basic biochemical principles imply that all organisms do have a common ancestry. [71] A proposed, earlier, non-cellular ancestor to LUCA is the First universal common ancestor (FUCA).
Cell-based models are mathematical models that represent biological cells as discrete entities. Within the field of computational biology they are often simply called agent-based models [1] of which they are a specific application and they are used for simulating the biomechanics of multicellular structures such as tissues. to study the influence of these behaviors on how tissues are organised ...
Modelling biological systems is a significant task of systems biology and mathematical biology. [a] Computational systems biology [b] [1] aims to develop and use efficient algorithms, data structures, visualization and communication tools with the goal of computer modelling of biological systems.
John Gurdon clones an animal, a frog tadpole, from an egg cell using the nucleus from an intestinal cell (1962). Roger W. Sperry shows the potential independence of the two sides of the human brain using split-brain patients (1962–1965). Nirenberg and Leder experiment, binding tRNA to ribosomes with synthetic RNA to decipher the genetic code ...
Models of animal locomotion are important for gaining new insights and predications on how kinematics arise from the interactions of the nervous, skeletal, and/or muscular systems that would otherwise be difficult to glean from experiments. The following are types of animal locomotion models:
The increase in knowledge of the genomes of non-human primates and other mammals that are genetically close to humans is allowing the production of genetically engineered animal tissues, organs and even animal species which express human diseases, providing a more robust model of human diseases in an animal model. Animal models observed in the ...
