    Molecular Sciences Institute, 2168 Shattuck Avenue, Berkeley, California 94704, USA
    Nature 456:755-61. 2008
    ..Our work suggests that negative feedback is a general mechanism used in signalling systems to align dose responses and thereby increase the fidelity of information transmission...

    Alejandro Colman-Lerner
    The Molecular Sciences Institute, 2168 Shattuck Avenue, Berkeley, California 94704, USA
    Nature 437:699-706. 2005
    ..Second, pathway capacity and expression capacity are negatively correlated, suggesting a compensatory mechanism that allows cells to respond more precisely to pheromone in the presence of a large variation in expression capacity...
