Mathematical Modeling of Gene Networks: Volume II

After the success of the first Research Topic "Mathematical Modeling of Gene Networks", we are really proud to release this second special collection dedicated to exploring this theme.

Gene regulatory networks (GRNs) are fundamental to the functioning of any cell in living organisms, driving morphogenesis and responses to environmental changes. The data produced by experimentation in biology is voluminous, demanding extensive efforts in collection, analysis, and classification. Yet, this data presents a unique opportunity for mathematical interpretation, enabling mathematicians to formulate hypotheses and validate these using mathematical methods. The cycle of hypothesis and experimentation between mathematics and biology not only deepens our understanding but also enhances the practical application of mathematical models in interpreting biological processes.

This Research Topic aims to bring together experts from the fields of applied mathematics and biology to explore the multifaceted nature of GRNs. Through collaboration, mathematicians will gain insights into biological questions and the critical roles gene networks play in life processes, while biologists will benefit from the advanced modeling capabilities that mathematics offers. The synergy between these disciplines will accelerate the formulation of new theories and models, crucial for advancing our understanding and manipulation of gene networks.
