Progress of biological robustness
生物鲁棒性的研究进展

Biological robustness is a system property to keep a stability of live-body structure and function as uncertainty factor from external and internal variety disturbs it. Up to now, it is known robustness always arises in whole, organ, cell and molecule, for example, bacterial chemotaxis, cell cycle, intercellular communication, gene mutation, development, gene network, and so on. In the organism, using feedback control, redundancy, modularity and structure stability attains robustness. Stability robustness and character robustness are two important issues in the research, and mathematics model is a method for biological robustness. The knowledge of biological robustness signifies to illness's generation, development and therapy, such as cancer, AIDS and diabetes. This paper reviews biological robustness progress recently.
