Systems biology: On the cell cycle and its switches

Nature. 2008 Jul 17;454(7202):288-9. doi: 10.1038/454288a.

Abstract

For the cell-division cycle to progress, hundreds of genes and proteins must be coordinately regulated. Systems-level studies of this cycle show that positive-feedback loops help to keep events in sync.
