Differentiation requires continuous active control.
نویسنده
چکیده
The problems posed by differentiation that appear most soluble by a passive control mechanism can readily be solved by an active mechanism. Given the need for plasticity in gene expression in different cell types at different stages, an active mechanism may be advantageous, even essential. It is striking how few changes during differentiation are completely irreversible, the gene rearrangements leading to immunoglobulin expression being one clear exception. Indeed, a prediction of the active-control hypothesis is that any nucleus exposed to the appropriate constellation of proteins at the appropriate concentration should be able to perform functions typical of any given differentiated cell type. In the next decade, the elucidation of novel memory mechanisms, or feedback loops, will substantially increase our understanding of how stable differentiated states can be maintained by continuous active control.

Differentiation requires continuous regulation
IFFERENTIATION has long been conceived of as a series of binary decisions. Wsddington's epigenetic landscape (1940) provides a particularly vivid visual image of this concept: differentiation is likened to the path taken by a ball as it rolls down a sloped surface grooved by valleys. Similarly, according to Stuart Kauffman's binary model (1973), early choices limit later probabilities for chang...
متن کاملComparison between the effects of flipped class and traditional methods of instruction on satisfaction, active participation, and learning level in a continuous medical education course for general practitioners
Background and Aim: Physicians’ knowledge and capabilities decrease over time; therefore, continuous medical education is important. Flipped class is a blended teaching method that inverts instructional cycle by delivering the educational content by innovative technology out-of-class. The aim of this study was to determine the effects of flipped class on satisfaction, active participation,...

متن کاملGlucose, Insulin and Growth/Differentiation Factor-15 Serums Responses to the Acute Effects of Two Intermittent and Continuous Exercises in Sedentary Obese Males
Background Growth/Differentiation Factor-15 (GDF-15) is a stress responsive cytokine linked to obesity, cardiovascular disease and inflammation. Exercise can be a transient physiological stress in whole-body energy metabolism. Objective The aim of this study was to evaluate the glucose, insulin and GDF-15 serum responses to acute effects of two intermittent and continuous exercises in sedentar...
متن کاملContinuous Time Model Predictive Control for a Magnetic Bearing System
Abstract— The nature of active magnetic bearings has many advantages over the conventional bearing, as its operation is energy efficient and potentially leads to cleaner and noise-free environment. However, the successful operation of an active magnetic bearing system requires a complex real-time control system, because of its unstable characteristics, as well as its nature of being a multi-inp...
