It plays a role in gene regulation, cell fate switch, signal transduction and cell oscillation, with relevance for cognition, hearing, vision, sleep, gait and voiding. Here we consider a potential role for bistability in the existence of specific frailty states or phenotypes as part of disablement pathways. We use mathematical modeling with two frailty biomarkers (insulin growth factor-1, IGF-1 and interleukin-6, IL-6), which mutually inhibit each other. In our model, we demonstrate that small variations around critical IGF-1 or IL-6 blood levels lead to strikingly different mobility outcomes. We employ deterministic modeling of mobility outcomes, calculating the average trends in population health. Our model predicts the bistability of clinical outcomes: the deterministically-computed likelihood of an individual remaining mobile, becoming less mobile, or dying over time either increases to almost 100% or decreases to almost zero. Contrary to statistical models that attempt to estimate the likelihood of final outcomes based on probabilities and correlations, our model predicts functional outcomes over time based on specific hypothesized molecular mechanisms. Instead of estimating probabilities based on stochastic distributions and arbitrary priors, we deterministically simulate model outcomes over a wide range of physiological parameter values within experimentally derived boundaries. Our study is \"a proof of principle\" as it is based on a major assumption about mutual inhibition of pathways that is oversimplified. However, by making such an assumption, interesting effects can be described qualitatively. As our understanding of molecular mechanisms involved in aging deepens, we believe that such modeling will not only lead to more accurate predictions, but also help move the field from using mostly studies of associations to mechanistically guided approaches.</p>","PeriodicalId":73092,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers in network physiology","volume":"3 ","pages":"1079070"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10192762/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9859412","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

One promising route to improve the characterization of pain, and with that the potential for more effective pain therapies, is the integration of different data modalities through cutting edge computational methods. Using these methods, multiscale, complex, and network models of pain signaling can be created and utilized for the benefit of patients.

Computational models of lung parenchyma utilize uniform arrays of space-filling shapes to represent individual alveoli, but have inherent anisotropy, whereas actual lung tissue is isotropic on average. We developed a novel Voronoi-based 3D spring network model of the lung parenchyma, the Amorphous Network, that exhibits more 2D and 3D similarity to lung geometry than regular polyhedral networks. In contrast to regular networks that show anisotropic force transmission, the structural randomness in the Amorphous Network dissipates this anisotropy with important implications for mechanotransduction.

To model progressive fibrosis, agents were moved around the network and increased the stiffness of springs along their path. Agents migrated at various path lengths until a certain percentage of the network was stiffened. Alveolar ventilation heterogeneity increased with both percent of the network stiffened, and walk length of the agents, until the percolation threshold was reached.
