Influenza A virus and various single-stranded RNA viruses have been reported to be blocked by IFN-stimulated Mx protein. Here we present a mathematical model of regulation of mouse Mx1 protein induction and action under influenza infection. Parameter estimates are derived from published experimental

Mathematical and Computer Modelling Reports infectious disease that confers immunity following infection. The model allows for a general distribution of both the latent and infectious periods. An epidemic threshold theorem is given along with methods for finding the final attack rate when a single c
A model of the heart rate regulation during physical load and recovery has been developed. The model contains four parameters with the following physiological meanings: Heart rate increment related to the load of 1 watt, a load which can be coped with by vagal inhibition, a time constant of the vaga
Mathematical models of this process are based on different assumptions. As mentioned by Hoffmann et al. (1986), first steps of the construction of mathematical models are relatively simple and easy when biological postulates are formulated properly, but many difficult mathematical problems (such as
Mathematical modelling represents one of the methods we can use to find proper answers to questions stated to solve biological problems. This method is extraordinarily useful in cases of complex behavior of biological systems, i.e. in cases which are inconvenient to model experimentally or in cases
