摘要:
Oscillations in time and space are ubiquitous in nature and play critical roles in dynamic cellular processes. Although the molecular mechanisms underlying the generation of the dynamics are diverse, several distinct regulatory elements have been recognized as being critical in producing and modulating oscillatory dynamics. These include negative and positive feedback, time delay, nonlinearity in regulation, and random fluctuations ('noise'). Here we discuss the specific roles of these five elements in promoting or attenuating oscillatory dynamics, by drawing on insights from quantitative analyses of natural or synthetic biological networks.
