Computational Modeling Of Calcium Dynamics Near Heterogeneous Release Sites, Borbala Mazzag, Zachary Cooper, Michael Greenwood Dec 2006

Computational Modeling Of Calcium Dynamics Near Heterogeneous Release Sites, Borbala Mazzag, Zachary Cooper, Michael Greenwood

Background: Calcium is known to play an important role in many physiological
processes, such as egg fertilization and heart muscle functions.
Several recent theoretical studies ([4], [1]) investigated calcium dynamics
near so-called release sites – clusters of calcium-regulated channels on
the intracellular calcium stores. Interest in the synchronized openings of
channels within a release site has increased because these openings are
thought to be the building blocks of global calcium events.
Methods: We conduct computational studies of the effect of heterogeneity
in the make-up of the release site on the resulting calcium dynamics.
We introduce heterogeneity into the model of …

A Model For Shear Stress Sensing And Transmission In Vascular Endothelial Cells, Borbala Mazzag, John S. Tamaresis, Abdul Barakat

 Arterial endothelial cell (EC) responsiveness to flow is essential for normal vascular function and plays a role in the development of atherosclerosis. EC flow responses may involve sensing of the mechanical stimulus at the cell surface with subsequent transmission via cytoskeleton to intracellular transduction sites. We had previously modeled flow-induced deformation of EC-surface flow sensors represented as viscoelastic materials with standard linear solid behavior (Kelvin bodies). In the present article, we extend the analysis to arbitrary networks of viscoelastic structures connected in series and/or parallel. Application of the model to a system of two Kelvin bodies in parallel reveals that …
