  2. Biochemical switches in the cell cycle - Wikipedia

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

    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. This example clearly shows the combined effects that positive and negative feedback loops have on cell-cycle ...

  3. Climate change feedbacks - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Climate_change_feedbacks

    The Planck response is the additional thermal radiation objects emit as they get warmer. Whether Planck response is a climate change feedback depends on the context. In climate science the Planck response can be treated as an intrinsic part of warming that is separate from radiative feedbacks and carbon cycle feedbacks.

  4. Bistability - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bistability

    This signaling network illustrates the simultaneous positive and negative feedback loops whose exquisite sensitivity helps create a bistable switch. Bistability can only arise in biological and chemical systems if three necessary conditions are fulfilled: positive feedback , a mechanism to filter out small stimuli and a mechanism to prevent ...

  5. Positive feedback - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Positive_feedback

    Positive feedback reinforces and negative feedback moderates the original process. Positive and negative in this sense refer to loop gains greater than or less than zero, and do not imply any value judgements as to the desirability of the outcomes or effects. [7] A key feature of positive feedback is thus that small disturbances get bigger.

  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. Negative feedback - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Negative_feedback

    A simple negative feedback system is descriptive, for example, of some electronic amplifiers. The feedback is negative if the loop gain AB is negative.. Negative feedback (or balancing feedback) occurs when some function of the output of a system, process, or mechanism is fed back in a manner that tends to reduce the fluctuations in the output, whether caused by changes in the input or by ...

  8. Ultrasensitivity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultrasensitivity

    Additionally, positive feedback can induce bistability in Cyclin B1- by the two regulators Wee1 and Cdc25C, leading to the cell's decision to commit to mitosis. The system cannot be stable at intermediate levels of Cyclin B1, and the transition between the two stable states is abrupt when increasing levels of Cyclin B1 switches the system from ...

  9. Transgenerational epigenetic inheritance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transgenerational...

    Positive and negative feedback loops are commonly observed in molecular mechanisms and regulation of homeostatic processes. There is evidence that feedback loops interact to maintain epigenetic modifications within one generation, as well as contributing to TEI in various organisms, and these feedback loops can showcase putative adaptations to ...
