22. Feedback Control in Systems Biology

    By Carlo Cosentino, Declan Bates

    Like engineering systems, biological systems must also operate effectively in the presence of internal and external uncertainty—such as genetic mutations or temperature changes, for example. It is not surprising, then, that evolution has resulted in the widespread use of feedback, and research in...

28. Red Blood Cell Aggregation

    By Oguz Baskurt, Björn Neu, Herbert J. Meiselman

    Red blood cells in humans—and most other mammals—have a tendency to form aggregates with a characteristic face-to-face morphology, similar to a stack of coins. Known as rouleaux, these aggregates are a normally occurring phenomenon and have a major impact on blood rheology. What is the underlying...
