  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. 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 .

  4. Positive feedback - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Positive_feedback

    Audio feedback (also known as acoustic feedback, simply as feedback, or the Larsen effect) is a special kind of positive feedback which occurs when a sound loop exists between an audio input (for example, a microphone or guitar pickup) and an audio output (for example, a loudly-amplified loudspeaker).

  5. 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

  6. G1/S transition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G1/S_transition

    An additional positive feedback loop is created by Swi4, a component of SBF that is itself a target of SBF. Together, this sudden activation of the G1 cyclin positive feedback loop defines the Start point that is key to making the G1/S transition distinct and abrupt. Once the CDK activity threshold is passed and feedback is activated ...

  7. Causal loop diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Causal_loop_diagram

    The words without arrows are loop labels. As with the links, feedback loops have either positive (i.e., reinforcing) or negative (i.e., balancing) polarity. CLDs contain labels for these processes, often using numbering (e.g., B1 for the first balancing loop being described in a narrative, B2 for the second one, etc.), and phrases that describe ...

  8. Transcription translation feedback loop - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transcription_translation...

    Secondary feedback loops interact with this primary feedback loop. CLOCKWORK ORANGE (CWO) binds the E-boxes to act as a direct competitor of CYC-CLK, therefore inhibiting transcription. PAR-DOMAIN PROTEIN 1 ε (PDP1ε) is a feedback activator and VRILLE (VRI) is a feedback inhibitor of the Clk promoter, and their expression is activated by dCLK ...

  9. Neural oscillation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neural_oscillation

    Because all brain areas are bidirectionally coupled, these connections between brain areas form feedback loops. Positive feedback loops tend to cause oscillatory activity where frequency is inversely related to the delay time. An example of such a feedback loop is the connections between the thalamus and cortex – the thalamocortical radiations.
