Feedback Control in Systems BiologyAuthor(s): Carlo Cosentino, Declan Bates\nFormat: Paperback\nPublisher: Taylor & Francis Ltd, United Kingdom\nImprint: CRC Press\nISBN-13: 9780367382261, 978-0367382261\nSynopsis\nLike engineering systems, biological systems must also operate effectively in the presence of internal and external uncertaintysuch 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 systems biology over the past decade has shown that feedback control systems are widely found in biology. As an increasing number of researchers in the life sciences become interested in control-theoretic ideas such as feedback, stability, noise and disturbance attenuation, and robustness, there is a need for a text that explains feedback control as it applies to biological systems.\n\nWritten by established researchers in both control engineering and systems biology, Feedback f
