Coupled positive feedbacks provoke slow induction plus fast switching in apoptosis.
Apoptosis is a form of a programmed cell death for multicellular organisms to remove unwanted or damaged cells. This critical choice of cellular fate is an all-or-none process, but its dynamics remains unraveled. The switch-like apoptotic decision has to be reliable, and once a pro-apoptotic fate is determined it requires fast and irreversible execution. One of the key regulators in apoptosis i...
متن کاملSlow switching in a population of delayed pulse-coupled oscillators.
We show that peculiar collective dynamics called slow switching arises in a population of leaky integrate-and-fire oscillators with delayed, all-to-all pulse couplings. By considering the stability of cluster states and symmetry possessed by our model, we argue that saddle connections between a pair of the two-cluster states are formed under general conditions. Slow switching appears as a resul...
متن کاملStochastic switching in slow-fast systems: a large-fluctuation approach.
In this paper we develop a perturbation method to predict the rate of occurrence of rare events for singularly perturbed stochastic systems using a probability density function approach. In contrast to a stochastic normal form approach, we model rare event occurrences due to large fluctuations probabilistically and employ a WKB ansatz to approximate their rate of occurrence. This results in the...
متن کامل`Slow’ and `fast’ light in resonator-coupled waveguides
We describe a device constructed of a sequence of microresonators coupled to an optical waveguide. The in ̄uence of these resonators is to enhance nonlinearities and to induce strong dispersive e ects, leading to exotic optical properties including slow and superluminal group velocities of propagation. In recent years there has been a ̄urry of activity aimed at the development of techniques tha...
متن کاملSeparating fast and slow modes in coupled chaotic systems
We test a simple technique based on breeding to separate fast and slow unstable modes in coupled systems with different time scales of evolution and variable amplitudes. The technique takes advantage of the earlier saturation of error growth rate of the fastest mode and of the lower value of the saturation amplitude of perturbation of either the fast or the slow modes. These properties of the c...
