Modeling Three-Dimensional Spatial Regulation of Bacterial Cell Division (Dissertation)
Many important cellular processes are regulated by reaction-diffusion (RD) of molecules that takes place both in the cytoplasm and on the membrane. To model and analyze such multicompartmental proc…

Homeoprotein Hbx4 represses adhesion molecule governing cytokinesis and development
Homeobox genes encode proteins with a highly conserved DNA-binding motif and provoke morphological diversification of body segments by differentially controlling the expression of downstream target…

The hypothesis of basic phenotype modules
The evolutionary events that allowed the rapid occurrence of metazoa are still enigmatic. The presumably oldest metazoan fossils are microscopic and occur just above 635 Ma, at the beginning of the…

The origin of vertebrates and their symmetry, segmentation, chord and tubular nervous system
Development of vertebrata begins with formation of a multicellular organism by ordered repeated division of a reproductive cell and nondisjunction of the new formed cells, which have kept connectio…

Design of a dynamic model of genes with multiple autonomous regulatory modules by evolution in silico
A new approach to design a dynamic model of genes with multiple autonomous regulatory modules by evolution in silico is proposed. The approach is based on Genetic Algorithms, with new crossover ope…

The cultural epigenetics of psychopathology: The missing heritability of complex diseases found?
We extend a cognitive paradigm for gene expression to the epigenetic epidemiology of mental disorders, recognizing the fundamental role that culture plays in human biology as another heritage mecha…

Regulated peristalsis into the acidic region of the Drosophila larval midgut is controlled by a novel component of the Autonomic Nervous System
The underlying cellular and molecular mechanisms that regulate and coordinate critical physiological processes such as peristalsis are complex, often cryptic, and involve the integration of multipl…

A new multicompartmental reaction-diffusion modeling method links transient membrane attachment of E. coli MinE to E-ring formation
Many important cellular processes are regulated by reaction-diffusion (RD) of molecules that takes place both in the cytoplasm and on the membrane. To model and analyze such multicompartmental proc…

The demonstration of the invariant lipid-free composition and the mechanism varying energy and the main components of some mammal meats consisting of muscle and adipose tissue
Background: The assumption of an invariant fat-free or lipid-free composition is prerequisite for most methods of the estimation of body composition in mammals including human but has not been theo…

Limusaurus and bird digit identity
Limusaurus is a remarkable herbivorous ceratosaur unique among theropods in having digits II, III and IV, with only a small metacarpal vestige of digit I. This raises interesting questions regard…
