On Nonlinear Dynamics of the STAT5a Signaling Protein

In this paper we model the dynamics of the cross talk between MEK/ERK and JAK/STAT signaling pathways by means of nonlinear ordinary differential equations. The considered system  of four ordinary differential equations is reduced to one ordinary differential equation, representing dynamics of the p...
