Computational analysis reveals the coupling between bistability and the sign of a feedback loop in a TGF-β1 activation model

Background Bistable behaviors are prevalent in cell signaling and can be modeled by ordinary differential equations (ODEs) with kinetic parameters. A bistable switch has recently been found to regulate the activation of transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) in the context of liver fibrosis, and an...
