Simultaneous Modeling of In Vivo and In Vitro Effects of Nondepolarizing Neuromuscular Blocking Drugs
Nondepolarizing neuromuscular blocking drugs (NDNBs) are clinically used to produce muscle relaxation during general anesthesia. This paper explores a suitable model structure to simultaneously describe in vivo and in vitro effects of three clinically used NDNBs, cisatracurium, vecuronium, and rocuronium. In particular, it is discussed how to reconcile an apparent discrepancy that rocuronium is less potent at inducing muscle relaxation in vivo than predicted from in vitro experiments. We develop a framework for estimating model parameters from published in vivo and in vitro data, and thereby compare the descriptive abilities of several candidate models. It is found that modeling of dynamic effect of activation of acetylcholine receptors (AChRs) is essential for describing in vivo experimental results, and a cyclic gating scheme of AChRs is suggested to be appropriate. Furthermore, it is shown that the above discrepancy in experimental results can be resolved when we consider the fact that the in vivo concentration of ACh is quite low to activate only a part of AChRs, whereas more than 95% of AChRs are activated during in vitro experiments, and that the site-selectivity is smaller for rocuronium than those for cisatracurium and vecuronium.

A mathematical study of the interaction between oxygen and lactate in an in-vivo and in-vitro tumor
Micro-environmental acidity is a common feature of the tumor. One of the causes behind tumor acidity is lactate production by hypoxic cells of the tumor. Hypoxia is a direct result of the establishment of oxygen gradient…

Neurons encode information in a binary manner and process complex signals. However, predicting or generating diverse neural activity patterns remains challenging. In vitro and in vivo studies provide distinct advantages,…
Quantitative in vitro to in vivo extrapolation for human toxicology and drug development
Traditional animal testing for toxicity is expensive, time consuming, ethically questioned, sometimes inaccurate because of the necessity to extrapolate from animal to human, and in most cases not formally validated acco…
When lowering temperature, the in vivo circadian clock in cyanobacteria follows and surpasses the in vitro protein clock trough the Hopf bifurcation
The in vivo circadian clock in single cyanobacteria is studied here by time-lapse fluorescence microscopy when the temperature is lowered below 25{\deg}C . We first disentangle the circadian clock behavior from the bacte…
