  2. Expressive suppression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Expressive_Suppression

    Expressive suppression is defined as the intentional reduction of the facial expression of an emotion. It is a component of emotion regulation.. Expressive suppression is a concept "based on individuals' emotion knowledge, which includes knowledge about the causes of emotion, about their bodily sensations and expressive behavior, and about the possible means of modifying them" [1]: 157 In ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Postponement_of_affect

    Postponement of affect is a defence mechanism which may be used against a variety of feelings or emotions.Such a "temporal displacement, resulting simply in a later appearance of the affect reaction and in thus preventing the recognition of the motivating connection, is most frequently used against the affects of rage (or annoyance) and grief".

  5. Gene silencing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gene_silencing

    The genes can be silenced by siRNA molecules that cause the endonucleatic cleavage of the target mRNA molecules or by miRNA molecules that suppress translation of the mRNA molecule. [13] With the cleavage or translational repression of the mRNA molecules, the genes that form them are rendered essentially inactive. [12]

  6. Derepression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Derepression

    In genetics and cell biology, repression is a mechanism often used to decrease or inhibit the expression of a gene. Removal of repression is called derepression. This mechanism may occur at different stages in the expression of a gene, all resulting with increasing the overall RNA or protein products.

  7. Silencer (genetics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silencer_(genetics)

    In general terms, mutations in silencer elements or regions could lead to either the inhibition of the silencer's action or to the persisting repression of a necessary gene. This can then lead to the expression or suppression of an undesired phenotype which may affect the normal functionality of certain systems in the organism.

  8. Defence mechanism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Defence_mechanism

    In the first definitive book on defence mechanisms, The Ego and the Mechanisms of Defence (1936), [7] Anna Freud enumerated the ten defence mechanisms that appear in the works of her father, Sigmund Freud: repression, regression, reaction formation, isolation, undoing, projection, introjection, turning against one's own person, reversal into the opposite, and sublimation or displacement.

  9. Suppressor mutation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suppressor_mutation

    Intragenic suppression results from suppressor mutations that occur in the same gene as the original mutation. In a classic study, Francis Crick (et al.) used intragenic suppression to study the fundamental nature of the genetic code. From this study it was shown that genes are expressed as non-overlapping triplets . [1]
