Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Living cells keep sensing the changes in their environments, mostly, via cell surface receptors for different ligands. Attachment-dependent cells are sensitive to alterations in extracellular matrix (ECM). ECM is not only required for cell survival, but also prerequisite for epidermal growth factor (EGF) to stimulate cell proliferation. The receptors for the majority of ECM components are integrins and the receptor for EGF is EGF receptor (EGFR). When bound by their ligands, integrins and EGFR induce signal transduction cascades composed of alternative pathways. A quantitative assessment of relative contributions of alternative pathways to one final cell signaling will help understand designing principles of the network. Unfortunately, a methodology for such assessment is still not available, partly because of lack of relatively mature mathematical models. On the other hand, in most biochemical cascades, existence of alternative pathways increases the complexity and thus the robustness of networks. The relationships between the topology and robustness of large-scale biochemical networks have been studied intensively recently. In small-scale networks, while feedback has been revealed as an important contributor for adaptation and robustness, the quantitative correlation between the topology/pathway redundancy of small networks and their robustness remains unknown.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
