The authors determine the geometric structure of ``isotangent curves'' (i.e. curves parametrized by the slopes of their points) with a view to applications to self-regulating processes in biology. They come up naturally as bifurcation curves of rational unfoldings of \(X^ k\) and the authors classify them according to degree and number of cusps.
