TITLE: "Mechanisms of robust entrainment of biological oscillators involved in gastric peristalsis.” ABSTRACT: Oscillator entrainment is a widely observed phenomenon in natural systems. Using a computational modeling approach, we decipher the essential intrinsic and extrinsic mechanisms of robust entrainment of biological oscillators involved in gastric peristalsis. Specifically, we show that the constitutive intercellular IP3-facilitated pacemaker […]

TITLE: "Defining chromatin accessibility and molecular dysregulation in Down Syndrome." ABSTRACT: Despite accumulating almost two centuries of medical information, the exact mechanisms underlying Down Syndrome (DS) developmental pathology remain unknown. DS is caused by trisomy of chromosome21 (T21), but without pinpointing the way in which T21 confers molecular dysfunctions and subsequently impairs neurodevelopment, it has been […]
