Term Name: negative regulation of biological process
Synonyms: down regulation of biological process, down-regulation of biological process, downregulation of biological process, inhibition of biological process, negative regulation of physiological process
Definition: Any process that stops, prevents, or reduces the frequency, rate or extent of a biological process. Biological processes are regulated by many means; examples include the control of gene expression, protein modification or interaction with a protein or substrate molecule.
