|---|---|
| gene expression regulation | Any of the processes by which nuclear, cytoplasmic, or intercellular factors influence the differential control of gene action at the level of transcription or translation. These processes include gene activation and genetic induction. (12 Dec 1998) |

| gene expression regulation, bacterial | Any of the processes by which cytoplasmic or intercellular factors influence the differential control of gene action in bacteria. (12 Dec 1998) |
| gene expression regulation, developmental | Any of the processes by which nuclear, cytoplasmic, or intercellular factors influence the differential control of gene action during the developmental stages of an organism. (12 Dec 1998) |
| gene expression regulation, enzymologic | Any of the processes by which nuclear, cytoplasmic, or intercellular factors influence the differential control of gene action in enzyme synthesis. (12 Dec 1998) |

| gene regulation | The DNA and protein interactions in a gene that determine the temporal and spatial modes of expression as well as the amplitude of expression. (14 Nov 1997) |
| regulation | 1. <biology> The adaption of form or behaviour of an organism to changed conditions. 2. <embryology> The power of a pregastrula stage to form a whole embryo from a part. Origin: L. Regula = rule (18 Nov 1997) |
| coordinate regulation | The expression of many different genes at once. (09 Oct 1997) |
| self-regulation | A three-stage strategy patients are taught to use in order to end risky health-associated behaviours such as smoking and overeating. 1. Self-monitoring (self-observation), the first stage in self-regulation involves the individual's deliberately attending to and recording his or her own behaviour; 2. Self-evaluation, the second stage, in which the individual assesses what was learned by self-monitoring, such as how often and where one smokes, and uses those observational data to establish health goals or criteria; 3. Self-reinforcement, the third stage, in which the individual rewards him/herself for each behavioural success on the road to that goal, thereby enhancing the chance of reaching it. (05 Mar 2000) |
