signaalinvälitysmallit
Signaalinvälitysmallit is a Finnish term that translates roughly to signal transmission models. In a broad sense, they are theoretical and computational representations used to study how signals propagate within biological systems. The concept covers intracellular signaling cascades, intercellular communication, and, in some contexts, neural signaling. The aim is to describe how external cues are converted into cellular responses such as changes in gene expression, metabolism, or cell fate.
Modeling approaches in signaalinvälitysmallit are varied. Deterministic models based on ordinary differential equations describe the kinetics
Development and validation of these models rely on experimental data, including kinetic parameters, concentration measurements, and
Applications of signaalinvälitysmallit span drug discovery, understanding diseases characterized by signaling dysregulation (such as cancer and
Limitations include incomplete knowledge of network structure, parameter uncertainty, computational complexity, and challenges in integrating information
