On the mathematical modelling of tumor-induced angiogenesis by Luis L. Bonilla, Vincenzo Capasso, Mariano Alvaro, Manuel Carretero, Filippo Terragni

“…An angiogenic system is taken as an example of extremely complex ones in the field of Life Sciences, from both analytical and computational points of view, due to the strong coupling between the kinetic parameters of the relevant branching -growth -anastomosis stochastic processes of the capillary network, at the microscale, and the family of interacting underlying biochemical fields, at the macroscale. To reduce this complexity, for a conceptual stochastic model we have explored how to take advantage of the system intrinsic multiscale structure: one might describe the stochastic dynamics of the cells at the vessel tip at their natural microscale, whereas the dynamics of the underlying fields is given by a deterministic mean field approximation obtained by an averaging at a suitable mesoscale. …”

Glucomannan engineering highlights roles of galactosyl modification in fine-tuning cellulose-glucomannan interaction in Arabidopsis cell walls by Yoshihisa Yoshimi, Li Yu, Rosalie Cresswell, Xinyu Guo, Alberto Echevarría-Poza, Jan J. Lyczakowski, Ray Dupree, Toshihisa Kotake, Paul Dupree

“…Here, we show that fine-tuning of galactosyl modification on glucomannans is achieved by the differing acceptor recognition of mannan α-galactosyltransferases (MAGTs). Biochemical analysis and 13C solid-state　nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy of Arabidopsis with cell wall glucomannan engineered by MAGTs reveal that the degree of galactosylation strongly affects the interaction with cellulose. …”
