Three feedback loops precisely regulating serum phosphate concentration.

Published: September 2011

Parathyroid hormone (PTH) and vitamin D were considered the major factors regulating phosphate homeostasis. Now, with the identification of fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23), a phosphaturic molecule inhibiting calcitriol and PTH, they need to be integrated into three feedback loops involving parathyroid, bone, and kidney. PTH and calcitriol are required for the appropriate synthesis of FGF23 by bone cells. PTH also regulates klotho expression in the kidney and thereby the phosphaturic action of FGF23.

The coexistence of different microbial communities is fundamental to the sustainability of many ecosystems, yet our understanding of the relationships among microbial communities in plateau cold-region lakes affected by seasonal ice cover remains limited. This research involved investigating three lakes in the Inner Mongolia segment of the Yellow River basin during frozen and unfrozen periods in two habitats: water bodies and sediments. The research examined the composition and function of bacteria, archaea, and fungi across different times and habitats within the basin, their response to environmental variables in water and sediment, and inter-domain interactions between bacteria-archaea and bacteria-fungi were compared using interdomain ecological network (IDEN).

Interlimb coordination can be used as a metric to study the response of the neuromuscular system to mechanical perturbations and behavioral information. Behavioral information providing haptic feedback on thigh angle has been shown to increase stride length and consequently walking speed, but the effect of such feedback on limb coordination has not been determined. The current work investigates the effects of this feedback on lower-limb coordination and examines if such effects are dependent on the age of the walker.

One of the challenges that beset modelling complex biological networks is to relate networks to function to dynamics. A further challenge is deciphering the cellular function and dynamics that can change drastically when the network edge is tinkered with by adding or removing it. To illustrate this, the authors took a well-studied three-variable Goodwin oscillatory motif with only a negative feedback loop.

Introduction: Adverse events in hospitals significantly compromise patient safety and trust in healthcare systems, with medical errors being a leading cause of death globally. Despite efforts to reduce these errors, reporting remains low, and effective system changes are rare. This systematic review explores the potential of artificial intelligence (AI) in clinical risk management.
