Feedback loops enable cells to grow and then stop at the right size, to divide and self-repair, and to respond with agility to their changing environment. Individual cells engage in long range extracellular feedback with other cells, ensuring continued homeostasis of communities, tissues and organs. . In this talk, we demonstrate the dynamic anatomy of a few feedback loops and highlight the technological advances that made these insights possible.
