Fig. 7: Simulation outcomes of coupled core-clock machinery-TMZ efficacy model.

Cell population proliferation curves obtained from experimental studies (symbols) and simulations (lines) for a WT-, b PER2 KO-, and c NR1D1 KO T98G cell line. d–f 24 h fluctuation curves of TMZ efficacy expressed as area under the proliferation curve (AUC) for a WT-, b PER2 KO-, and c NR1D1 KO T98G cell line (error bars represent standard error of mean). Curve maximum (white triangle) and minimum (black triangle) are indicated to mark the model found optimum time point for treatment. This optimum time point corresponds to the curve minimum as proliferation inhibition is highest at this point.
