Protein Dimerization Generates Bistability in Positive Feedback Loops [PDF]
Cell Reports, 2016 Bistability plays an important role in cellular memory and cell-fate determination. A positive feedback loop can generate bistability if it contains ultrasensitive molecular reactions.

Terahertz optical bistability of graphene-coated cylindrical core–shell nanoparticles
Journal of Theoretical and Applied Physics, 2018 In this study, we investigate the optical bistability of graphene-coated nanoparticles with cylindrical core–shell structure at terahertz frequency, because graphene displays optical bistability and multistability in a broad range of incident optical ...

Monomeric bistability and the role of autoloops in gene regulation.
PLoS ONE, 2009 Genetic toggle switches are widespread in gene regulatory networks (GRN). Bistability, namely the ability to choose among two different stable states, is an essential feature of switching and memory devices.

Chemical Communications, 2009 A switchable donor-acceptor pretzelane composed of a crown ether containing tetrathiafulvalene and 1,5-dihydroxynaphthalene recognition units and a covalently tethered cyclobis(paraquat-p-phenylene) ring exhibits unidirectional motion on both oxidation (forwards) and reduction (backwards).

Molecular Microbiology, 2006 SummaryGene expression in bacteria is traditionally studied from the average behaviour of cells in a population, which has led to the assumption that under a particular set of conditions all cells express genes in an approximately uniform manner.

Bistable nerve conduction [PDF]
Biophysical Journal, 2022 Abstract The essence of the nerve system is to transmit information from and to different parts of the body in response to environmental changes. Here we show that a bistable conduction behavior can occur in the nerve system, which exhibits stimulus-dependent fast and slow conduction waves.

HYSTERESIS OF PLANAR DOUBLE SLOT IMPINGING AIR JETS [PDF]
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2018 In present study, the bistability and hysteresis of the non-isothermal flow behind two slot nozzle is numerically investigated. Theoretical review of bistability of isothermal stagnation flow is presented and both flow field patterns that exist in the ...

Split histidine kinases enable ultrasensitivity and bistability in two-component signaling networks [PDF]
, 2012 Bacteria sense and respond to their environment through signaling cascades generally referred to as two-component signaling networks. These networks comprise histidine kinases and their cognate response regulators.

Nanomaterials, 2020 We theoretically investigate the optical bistability in the metal nanoparticles-graphene nanodisks-quantum dots hybrid plasmonic system in the infrared regime of the electromagnetic radiation. The quantum dot is considered to be a three-level atomic-like

Relatively slow stochastic gene-state switching in the presence of positive feedback significantly broadens the region of bimodality through stabilizing the uninduced phenotypic state. [PDF]
PLoS Computational Biology, 2018 Within an isogenic population, even in the same extracellular environment, individual cells can exhibit various phenotypic states. The exact role of stochastic gene-state switching regulating the transition among these phenotypic states in a single cell ...
