Simulation and validation of modeled sphingolipid metabolism in Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Article Abstract:

A biochemical systems theoretical model of sphingolipid metabolism in yeast is validated experimentally. Simulations of metabolic fluxes, enzyme deletion and the effects of inositol has led to predictions that show significant concordance with experimental results generated post hoc.

Small molecule activators of SIRT1 as the therapeutics for the treatment of type 2 diabetes

Article Abstract:

The identification and characterization of small molecule activators of SIRT1, which could be used as a new therapeutic approach to treat diseases of ageing such as type 2 diabetes, is described.
