Calmodulinopathy in inherited arrhythmia syndromes by Wen-Chin Tsai, Peng-Sheng Chen, Michael Rubart

“…Calmodulin (CaM) is a ubiquitous intracellular calcium sensor that controls and regulates key cellular functions. In all vertebrates, three CaM genes located on separate chromosomes encode an identical 149 amino acid protein, implying an extraordinarily high level of evolutionary importance and suggesting that CaM mutations would be possibly fatal. …”

Need for Mechanisms to Monitor Ocean Circulation‐Driven Seagrass Population Expansions by Zhaohua Wang, Bin Zhou, Wenjie Yan

“…Taxon: Eelgrass (Zostera marina)Using eelgrass as a model species, we propose a strategy to resequence seagrass samples from different geographical populations, analyze the genetic structure of seagrasses by combining genomics and population evolution, construct and screen an optimal model of seagrass colonization history, calibrate the timing of colonization events, and thereby deduce the evolutionary history of seagrass populations. We constructed a three‐dimensional hydrodynamic model based on the FVCOM numerical model to clarify the seasonal changes in the surface circulation patterns of seagrasses in their natural distribution areas and to precisely locate the colonization pathways of seagrass populations by combining the history of population differentiation. …”

A multiscale model of the bone marrow and hematopoiesis by Ariosto Silva, Alexander R. A. Anderson, Robert Gatenby

“…Our goal is the development of a spatially-explicit in silico model of the bone marrow to understand both its normal function and the evolutionary dynamics that govern the emergence of bone marrow malignancy.Here we introduce a multiscale computational model of the bone marrow that incorporates three distinct spatial scales, cell, hematopoietic subunit, whole marrow.Our results, using parameter estimates from literature, recapitulates normal bone marrow function and suggest an explanation for the fractal-like structure of trabeculae and sinuses in the marrow, which would be an optimization of the hematopoietic function in order to maximize the number of mature blood cells produced daily within the volumetric restrictions of the marrow.…”
