Modelling cell cycle synchronisation in networks of coupled radial glial cells (2015)
Journal Article
Barrack, D., Thul, R., & Owen, M. R. (2015). Modelling cell cycle synchronisation in networks of coupled radial glial cells. Journal of Theoretical Biology, 377, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jtbi.2015.04.013

Radial glial cells play a crucial role in the embryonic mammalian brain. Their proliferation is thought to be controlled, in part, by ATP mediated calcium signals. It has been hypothesised that these signals act to locally synchronise cell cycles, so... Read More about Modelling cell cycle synchronisation in networks of coupled radial glial cells.

Unifying principles of calcium wave propagation: insights from a three-dimensional model for atrial myocytes (2015)
Journal Article
Thul, R., Rietdorf, K., Bootman, M. D., & Coombes, S. (2015). Unifying principles of calcium wave propagation: insights from a three-dimensional model for atrial myocytes. Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Molecular Cell Research, 1853(9), https://doi.org/10.1016/j.bbamcr.2015.02.019

Atrial myocytes in a number of species lack transverse tubules. As a consequence the intracellular calcium signals occurring during each heartbeat exhibit complex spatio-temporal dynamics. These calcium patterns arise from saltatory calcium waves tha... Read More about Unifying principles of calcium wave propagation: insights from a three-dimensional model for atrial myocytes.
