To find the amount of DPP-IV reduction reached when the system reaches equilibrium
To find a way to control the level of DPP-IV reduction
To find the minimum number of RdRps, replicons, etc to be initially transfected into the cell, which are required to achieve a steady state for the system
To find out how long does it take for the system to reach equilibrium
To find out the level of reduction we need to treat diabetes
To find out how stable the system is (i.e. will the system only work in very specific situations, or in lots of different systems?)
We are currently using Simbiology in Matlab and Copasi to model the system. We are currently adapting several different models, which come from research into how HCV infections work, to our system.
