SysBio18 Asgn_9C_Class_25_List_01_2018_11_27 Control In/Of GLBA


Build a class list of examples of control IN the GLBA, and what are examples OF external control of the GLBA. Read the comments by your classmates and post a PCRC on the Blog that lists additional 1) Examples of control IN the GLBA. 2) Examples of how one might control the GLBA.



SysBio18 Asgn_9B_Class_25_PPT_03_2018_11_27 Examples of Control

Study PPT 03  PPT03_SysBio_Examples_of_Control_2018_11_15_0601. Review the PPT, which includes general responses from prior classes. Be sure to study slides 36-42. Post a PCRC on the Blog.

SysBio18 Asgn_9A_Class_25_Article_08_2018_11_27 Control Overview

Read Article 08  P. R. LeDuc, W. C. Messner, and J. P. Wikswo. How do control-based approaches enter into biology? Annu.Rev.Biomed.Engr. 13:369-396, 2011. This article addresses a problem central to much of existing biology, systems biology, and organs on a chip -- much of the work to date has been done in an open-loop manner, and hence does not adequately probe the system dynamics. Post a PCRC on the Blog.

SysBio18 Asgn_8_Class_18_Article_07_2018_10_25_Vernetti_Coupled_MPS

Coupled Organ Chips: Read Article 07  Vernetti, L, et al. Functional Coupling of Human Microphysiology Systems: Intestine, Liver, Kidney Proximal Tubule, Blood-Brain Barrier and Skeletal Muscle. Sci. Rep. 7: 42296. 2017. PMCID: PMC5235976. 

Think about how this approach could be used to study the Gut-Liver-Brain axis! 

Look at the Del Rio, et al., Nutrients, 2017 to get some idea of how much work was required to confirm the prediction regarding CSF TMAO.

Post a PCRC on the Blog.
