Cancer cells maintain a high level of aerobic glycolysis (the Warburg effect), which is associated with their rapid proliferation. Many studies have reported that the suppression of glycolysis and activation of oxidative phosphorylation can repress the growth of cancer cells through regulation of key regulators. Whether Warburg effect of cancer cells could be switched by some other environmental stimulus? Herein, we report an interesting phenomenon in which cells alternated between glycolysis and mitochondrial respiration depending on the type of radiation they were exposed to. We observed enhanced glycolysis and mitochondrial respiration in HeLa cells exposed to 2-Gy X-ray and 2-Gy carbon ion radiation, respectively. This discovery may provide novel insights for tumor therapy.

In this review we summarize our recent efforts in trying to understand the role of heterogeneity in cancer progression by using neural networks to characterise different aspects of the mapping from a cancer cells genotype and environment to its pheno
type. Our central premise is that cancer is an evolving system subject to mutation and selection, and the primary conduit for these processes to occur is the cancer cell whose behaviour is regulated on multiple biological scales. The selection pressure is mainly driven by the microenvironment that the tumour is growing in and this acts directly upon the cell phenotype. In turn, the phenotype is driven by the intracellular pathways that are regulated by the genotype. Integrating all of these processes is a massive undertaking and requires bridging many biological scales (i.e. genotype, pathway, phenotype and environment) that we will only scratch the surface of in this review. We will focus on models that use neural networks as a means of connecting these different biological scales, since they allow us to easily create heterogeneity for selection to act upon and importantly this heterogeneity can be implemented at different biological scales. More specifically, we consider three different neural networks that bridge different aspects of these scales and the dialogue with the micro-environment, (i) the impact of the micro-environment on evolutionary dynamics, (ii) the mapping from genotype to phenotype under drug-induced perturbations and (iii) pathway activity in both normal and cancer cells under different micro-environmental conditions.
In this paper I have given a mathematical model of Cell reprogramming from a different contexts. Here I considered there is a delay in differential regulator rate equations due to intermediate regulators regulations. At first I gave some basic mathem
atical models by Ferell Jr.[2] of reprogramming and after that I gave mathematical model of cell reprogramming by Mithun Mitra[4]. In the last section I contributed a mathematical model of cell reprogramming from intermediate steps regulations and tried to find the critical point of pluripotent cell.
Multiple brain injury criteria (BIC) are developed to quickly quantify brain injury risks after head impacts. These BIC originated from different types of head impacts (e.g., sports and car crashes) are widely used in risk evaluation. However, the ac
curacy of using the BIC on brain injury risk estimation across different types of head impacts has not been evaluated. Physiologically, brain strain is often considered the key parameter of brain injury. To evaluate the BICs risk estimation accuracy across five datasets comprising different head impact types, linear regression was used to model 95% maximum principal strain, 95% maximum principal strain at the corpus callosum, and cumulative strain damage (15%) on each of 18 BIC respectively. The results show a significant difference in the relationship between BIC and brain strain across datasets, indicating the same BIC value may suggest different brain strain in different head impact types. The accuracy of brain strain regression is generally decreasing if the BIC regression models are fit on a dataset with a different type of head impact rather than on the dataset with the same type. Given this finding, this study raises concerns for applying BIC to estimate the brain injury risks for head impacts different from the head impacts on which the BIC was developed.
A principal component analysis of the TCGA data for 15 cancer localizations unveils the following qualitative facts about tumors: 1) The state of a tissue in gene expression space may be described by a few variables. In particular, there is a single
variable describing the progression from a normal tissue to a tumor. 2) Each cancer localization is characterized by a gene expression profile, in which genes have specific weights in the definition of the cancer state. There are no less than 2500 differentially-expressed genes, which lead to power-like tails in the expression distribution functions. 3) Tumors in different localizations share hundreds or even thousands of differentially expressed genes. There are 6 genes common to the 15 studied tumor localizations. 4) The tumor region is a kind of attractor. Tumors in advanced stages converge to this region independently of patient age or genetic variability. 5) There is a landscape of cancer in gene expression space with an approximate border separating normal tissues from tumors.
Gene expression data for a set of 12 localizations from The Cancer Genome Atlas are processed in order to evaluate an entropy-like magnitude allowing the characterization of tumors and comparison with the corresponding normal tissues. The comparison
indicates that the number of available states in gene expression space is much greater for tumors than for normal tissues and points out to a scaling relation between the fraction of available states and the overlapping between the tumor and normal sample clouds.
