Oscillation (cell signaling)

Oscillations are an important type of cell signaling characterized by the periodic change of the system in time.[1] Oscillations can take place in a biological system in a multitude of ways. Positive feedback loops, on their own or in combination with negative feedback are a common feature of oscillating biological systems.[2]
