The high incidence and mortality of solid tumors like breast cancer makes the development of novel therapeutic agents a high priority. Curcumin, a natural substance from the rhizome of Curcuma longa, has captured the attention of the scientific community. Pre-clinical trials and extensive research has demonstrated its ability to prevent cancer. Indeed, curcumin has been shown to target critical genes involved i...

Understanding the dynamic behavior of living organisms is a great challenge in systems biology. To address this, computational dynamic modeling of metabolic networks is essential to guide experimentation and to explain properties of complex biological systems. Large-scale kinetic models at the reaction network level are usually constructed using mechanistic enzymatic rate equations and a large number of kinetic...
