The bifurcation-based approach can be used not only to detect combinatorial perturbations but also to determine their perturbation quantities, and is applied to the epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) network to demonstrate the effectiveness.

Computational analysis of synergism in small networks with different logic

Six most common small networks with regulatory logic AND or OR are analyzed, trying to clarify the relationship between network topologies and synergism (or antagonism) related to cell fate decisions, and it is shown that the results are not sensitive to parameter variations, indicating that the synergy or antagonism mainly depends on the networkTopologies rather than the choices of parameter values.

Matrix stability and bifurcation analysis by a network-based approach

In this paper, we develop a network-based methodology to investigate the problems related to matrix stability and bifurcations in nonlinear dynamical systems. By matching a matrix with a network,

Screening drug target combinations in disease-related molecular networks

A strategy to screen the synergistic combinations of two drug targets in disease networks based on the classification of single drug targets and applied it to Arachidonic Acid metabolic network and found 18 pairs of synergistic drug target combinations, five of which have been proven to be viable by biological or medical experiments.

Bifurcation-based approach reveals synergism and optimal combinatorial perturbation

Using the approaches of combinatorial perturbations and bifurcation analysis, this work provides a general framework for the quantitative analysis of synergism in molecular networks and shows its validity to show its validity in two models, although the approach holds for a general class of biological systems.

Systems biology and combination therapy in the quest for clinical efficacy

This perspective focuses on opportunities and challenges inherent in the application of mathematical modeling and systems approaches to pharmacology, specifically with respect to the idea of achieving combinatorial selectivity through use of multicomponent drugs.

Preclinical versus clinical drug combination studies

This brief review provides a practical guide for drug combination studies and delineates its essence in terms of the mass-action-based theory, experimental design and automated computerised data

Computational Analyses of Synergism in Small Molecular Network Motifs

This study investigates how variations in pairs of parameters affect responses in a series of ten common network motifs, identifying concurrent variations that act synergistically (or antagonistically) to alter the responses of the motifs to stimuli.

Singularity analysis of the AKT signaling pathway reveals connections between cancer and metabolic diseases

The analysis illuminates the parameter space and reveals system-level mechanisms in regulating biological functions (cell growth, survival, proliferation and metabolism) and how their deregulation may lead to the development of diseases.

Untangling the wires: A strategy to trace functional interactions in signaling and gene networks

A quantitative method for determining functional interactions in cellular signaling and gene networks that can be used to explore cell systems at a mechanistic level or applied within a “modular” framework, which dramatically decreases the number of variables to be assayed.

Theoretical Basis, Experimental Design, and Computerized Simulation of Synergism and Antagonism in Drug Combination Studies

The median-effect principle and its mass-action law based computer software are gaining increased applications in biomedical sciences, from how to effectively evaluate a single compound or entity to how to beneficially use multiple drugs or modalities in combination therapies.

Combinatorial perturbation analysis reveals divergent regulations of mesenchymal genes during epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition

This study employed combinatorial perturbations to mammary epithelial cells to induce a series of EMT phenotypes by manipulating two essential EMT-inducing elements, namely TGF-β and ZEB1 and found that mesenchymal genes are regulated by a divergent group of circuits connecting them to the transition signals.
