Multistability: a major means of differentiation and evolution in biological systems.
Trends in biochemical sciences - 1 Nov 1999

Abstract excerpt
Very simple biochemical systems regulated at the level of gene expression or protein function are capable of complex dynamic behaviour. Among the various patterns of regulation associated with non-linear kinetics, multistability, which corresponds to a true switch between alternate steady states, allows a graded signal to be turned into a discontinuous evolution of the system along several possible distinct...
