Molecular and Biochemical Analysis of the Histidine Kinase CusS and its Role in Metal Resistance in Escherichia coli
… important, yet toxic, elements using elaborate homeostatic systems. One such mechanism is the chemiosmotic extrusion of copper by the Cus system in the Gram-negative bacterium Escherichia coli. This work studies the regulation of the Cus system in response to copper and silver ions. Copper is an …

Afferents integration and neural adaptive control of breathing
… system is one of the most extensively studied homeostatic systems in the body. Despite its deceptively mundane physiological function, the mechanism underlying the robust control of the motor act of breathing in the face of constantly changing internal and external challenges throughout one's …

Amino acid transmitters and the neural control of feeding and energy homeostasis
… there is a need to more fully understand the homeostatic systems within the hypothalamus that are so powerful that they are able to drive individuals to poor health or death, often even in the face of consciously fighting their urges. Two groups of functionally opposed neurons contained within …

Comments on the cybernetics of stability and regulation in social systems
… discussion of stability and regulation in social systems taking a global viewpoint. The fundamental but still classical notion of stability as applied to homeostatic and ultrastable systems is discussed, with a particular reference to a specific well-studied example of a closed social group (the …

The use of implantable microchips for body temperature collection in cattle
… body temperature is complicated and tied to many homeostatic systems in the body. That connection to different systems in the body allows for the use of body temperature to identify deviations from baseline. Rectal temperature (RT) has been used in cattle to identify immune system challenges …
