  2. Biochemical switches in the cell cycle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biochemical_switches_in...

    Positive feedback loops play a role by switching cells from low to high Cdk-activity. The interaction between the two types of loops is evident in mitosis. While positive feedback initiates mitosis, a negative feedback loop promotes the inactivation of the cyclin-dependent kinases by the anaphase-promoting complex.

  3. Unconditional positive regard - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unconditional_positive_regard

    Unconditional positive regard, a concept initially developed by Stanley Standal in 1954, [1] later expanded and popularized by the humanistic psychologist Carl Rogers in 1956, is the basic acceptance and support of a person regardless of what the person says or does, especially in the context of client-centred therapy. [2]

  4. Biological applications of bifurcation theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biological_applications_of...

    Example of a biological network between genes and proteins that controls entry into S phase. However, with knowledge of network interactions and a set of parameters for the proteins and protein interactions (usually obtained through empirical research), it is often possible to construct a model of the network as a dynamical system .

  5. Positive feedback - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Positive_feedback

    Positive feedback occurs when a gene activates itself directly or indirectly via a double negative feedback loop. Genetic engineers have constructed and tested simple positive feedback networks in bacteria to demonstrate the concept of bistability. [28] A classic example of positive feedback is the lac operon in E. coli. Positive feedback plays ...

  6. Regulation of gene expression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regulation_of_gene_expression

    inhibition of run-away reactions when coupled with a positive feedback loop; creating an oscillator by taking advantage in the time delay of transcription and translation, given that the mRNA and protein half-life is shorter; positive feedback: the gene product upregulates its own production directly or indirectly, which can result in

  7. Temporal feedback - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temporal_feedback

    Within molecular and cell biology, temporal feedback, also referred to as interlinked or interlocked feedback, is a biological regulatory motif in which fast and slow positive feedback loops are interlinked to create "all or none" switches. This interlinking produces separate, adjustable activation and de-activation times.

  8. Hodgkin cycle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hodgkin_Cycle

    The Hodgkin cycle represents a positive feedback loop in which an initial membrane depolarization leads to uncontrolled deflection of the membrane potential to near V Na. The initial depolarization must reach or surpass a certain threshold in order to activate voltage-gated Na + channels .

  9. Feedback - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feedback

    Positive feedback: If the signal feedback from output is in phase with the input signal, the feedback is called positive feedback. Negative feedback: If the signal feedback is out of phase by 180° with respect to the input signal, the feedback is called negative feedback. As an example of negative feedback, the diagram might represent a cruise ...
