BioModels is a repository of mathematical models of biological and biomedical systems. It hosts a vast selection of existing literature-based physiologically and pharmaceutically relevant mechanistic models in standard formats. Our mission is to provide the systems modelling community with reproducible, high-quality, freely-accessible models published in the scientific literature. More information about using BioModels such as model submission, update, publication, or reviewers access can be found in the FAQ.

DeBoeck2021 - Modular approach to modelling the cell cycle

To multiply, a cell goes through a sequence of phases in the cell division cycle. The transitions between these phases are quick and robust due to a so-called bistable switch. Moreover, lowering cyclin B values does not immediately lead to mitotic exit – the threshold for inactivation of Cdk1 is lower than its activation threshold, leading to hysteresis. In our paper, we propose a solution to this problem. We modify a Hill-type ultrasensitive response such that it produces a bistable response. These bistable responses can, just like Hill functions, be included directly in larger models.
