The nature and the significance of this variability had been posed as one of the current fundamental questions in biology. In this letter, we argue that the observed variability in cellular gene and protein expression can be understood as an outcome of homeostatic regulation mechanisms controlling the gene and protein expression profiles.}, URL = {https://www.biorxiv.org/content/early/2015/06/16/021048}, eprint = {https://www.biorxiv.org/content/early/2015/06/16/021048.full.pdf}, journal = {bioRxiv} }
