A General Framework for Closed Loop Negative Feedback Multivariable Physiological Control Systems: Existence, Uniqueness, and Stability of Homeostatic Equilibrium Points by Anna Procopio, Annarita Tedesco, Fabrizio Lo Regio, Giuseppe Cesarelli, Leandro Donisi, Carlo Ricciardi, Alessio Merola, Alfonso Maria Ponsiglione, Maria Romano, Francesco Montefusco, Carlo Cosentino, Francesco Amato

“…Results proved the capability of the proposed framework to capture the intricate dynamics of multivariable physiological systems at different scales, highlighting the existence of asymptotically stable homeostatic equilibrium and allowing the study of the impact of transmission delays on the system’s stability. At the best of authors’ knowledge, following the paper Ponsiglione et al. (2023) where monovariable systems where dealt with, the proposed methodology is the first attempt to represent and investigate homeostasis from the molecular up to systemic level by exploiting a unified multivariable biomodeling architecture, which makes it a novel approach to understanding homeostatic control from a broader perspective.…”
