Each organ or structure has its own intrinsic way of keeping the internal environment within normal limits. When homeostasis is altered there are two possible responses: – In negative feedback the ...

Recent studies indicate that nutrient-sensing mechanisms in the body activate negative-feedback systems to regulate energy and glucose homeostasis through a neuronal network.

Because of the potent effector mechanisms of the immune system, the potential for self-destructive immune responses is especially high and many negative regulatory modalities exist to prevent ...

Researchers from the National University of Singapore (NUS) have solved a 60-year-old mystery in bacterial cell envelope ...

Our biological systems are designed with both positive and negative feedback loops that respond to the impact of the world around us. Negative feedback loops promote homeostasis, keeping things ...
