Causal Graphs and Biological Mechanismsgical practice, namely, feedback regulation of fatty acid biosynthesis in ., we show that causal graph theoretical models can account for feedback as well as for the multilevel character of mechanisms. However, we do not claim that causal graph theoretical representations of mechanisms are advantage

However, a knowledge of the laws of living matter is declined. These findings suggest that mechanistic bases are akin to causal bases and that explanation in medicine is supported by these object
