Negative feedback is a ubiquitous feature of biological networks. Recent work from Sturm and colleagues(1) presents experimental evidence that biological negative feedback can serve the same function as it does for engineered systems: robustness to perturbations within the feedback loop. Such behavior has important implications for how to attack deregulated signaling networks containing negative feedback in diseases as cancer.
