Mathematical modeling of variability in intracellular signaling
Cellular signaling is essential in information processing and decision making. Therefore, a variety of experimental approaches have been developed to study signaling on bulk and single-cell level. Single-cell measurements of signaling molecules demonstrated a substantial cell-to-cell variability, raising questions about its causes and mechanisms and about how cell populations cope with or exploit cellular heterogeneity. To gain insights from single-cell signaling data, analysis and modeling approaches have been introduced. This review discusses these modeling approaches, with a focus on recent advances in the development and calibration of mechanistic models. Additionally, it outlines current and future challenges.

Diffusivity Estimation for Activator-Inhibitor Models: Theory and Application to Intracellular Dynamics of the Actin Cytoskeleton
A theory for diffusivity estimation for spatially extended activator-inhibitor dynamics modelling the evolution of intracellular signaling networks is developed in the mathematical framework of stochastic reaction-diffus…
parameter estimationIncreasing certainty in systems biology models using Bayesian multimodel inference
Mathematical models are indispensable to the system biology toolkit for studying the structure and behavior of intracellular signaling networks. A common approach to modeling is to develop a system of equations that enco…
Model SelectionAn Introduction to Rule-based Modeling of Immune Receptor Signaling
Cells process external and internal signals through chemical interactions. Cells that constitute the immune system (e.g., antigen presenting cell, T-cell, B-cell, mast cell) can have different functions (e.g., adaptive m…
The competitive nature of STAT complex formation drives phenotype switching of T cells
Signal transducers and activators of transcription (STATs) are key molecular determinants of T cell fate and effector function. A number of inflammatory diseases are characterized by an altered balance of T cell phenotyp…
Rescaling of spatio-temporal sensing in eukaryotic chemotaxis
Eukaryotic cells respond to a chemoattractant gradient by forming intracellular gradients of signaling molecules that reflect the extracellular chemical gradient - an ability called directional sensing. Quantitative expe…
