Abstract:Cellular response to inflammatory stimuli leads to the production of eicosanoids—prostanoids (PRs) and leukotrienes (LTs)—and signaling molecules—cytokines and chemokines—by macrophages. Quantitative modeling of the inflammatory response is challenging owing to a lack of knowledge of the complex regulatory processes involved. Cybernetic models address these challenges by utilizing a well-defined cybernetic goal and optimizing a coarse-grained model toward this goal. We developed a cybernetic model to study ara… Show more
“…Using heuristic arguments, the authors inferred that eicosanoid overproduction can lead to the increased secretion of cytokines/chemokines. This novel model integrates mechanistic knowledge, known biological understanding of signaling pathways, and data-driven methods to study the dynamics of eicosanoid metabolism [5]. This study is valuable as the researchers developed a cybernetic framework model that can quantitatively identify the causal relationship between eicosanoid and cytokine production by combining mathematical research methodologies with existing biomedical experimental studies for studying the mechanism of the inflammatory process.…”

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
