Sensitivity of signaling pathway dynamics to plasmid transfection and its consequences by Jaroslaw Smieja, Marzena Dolbniak

“…Otherwise, when the model is used to analyze responses of wild type, i.e. non-transfected cells, it may not capture their dynamics properly or even lead to false conclusions. In order to illustrate this, an original mathematical model of miRNA-mediated control of gene expression in the NF$\kappa$B pathway is presented. …”
