Feedback regulation in multistage cell lineages by Wing-Cheong Lo, Ching-Shan Chou, Kimberly K. Gokoffski, Frederic Y.-M. Wan, Arthur D. Lander, Anne L. Calof, Qing Nie

“…Here we report on the existence and uniquenessof steady states in this system, as well as local and global stability of these steady states.In particular, we identify parameter conditions for the stability of the system when negativefeedback loops are represented either as Hill functions, or in more general terms.Our results suggest that two factors -- autoregulation of the proliferation oftransit amplifying (TA) progenitor cells, and a low death rate of TD cells -- enhance the stability of this system.…”
