Is Tumorigenesis an Abiogenesis?
Open Access Journal of Cancer & Oncology, 2019 CLN-IgG (Pritumuab) was subjected to clinical trials aiming at regression of brain tumors. The mechanism underlying the dramatic recuperation of cancer patient was considered by means of augmentation of idiotypic antibody-mediated internal image transmission of the vimentin epitope-vipidam. Silencing of prionogenicity of vimentin by chaperonic antibody

New Experiments on Abiogenesis [PDF]
Nature, 1873 HAVING occupied myself for some time past with an experimental study of abiogenesis, I have followed with much interest the controversies on that question in recent numbers of NATURE, and beg leave therefore to state to the readers of this journal the results of my experiments, which form in my opinion a not unimportant contribution to the solution of ...

The Sorites Paradox, “Life,” and Abiogenesis [PDF]
Evolution: Education and Outreach, 2012 Abstract The ancient Greek philosopher Eubulides of Miletus drew attention to the impossibility of defining a point of transition between two states or conditions at opposite ends of a continuum. The ensuing “drawing the line” conundrum—the sorites paradox—arises from the vague predicates which humans use to convey concepts. It is argued that

Abiogenesis not required to explain the origin of volcanic-hydrothermal hydrocarbons [PDF]
Geochemical Perspectives Letters, 2019 Abiotic formation of n-alkane hydrocarbons has been postulated to occur within Earth's crust. Apparent evidence was primarily based on uncommon carbon and hydrogen isotope distribution patterns that set methane and its higher chain homologues apart from biotic isotopic compositions associated with microbial production and closed system thermal ...

Elements of life: The role of phosphorus in abiogenesis [PDF]
The Biochemist, 2014 The element phosphorus performs several key roles in modern-day biochemistry. These include acting as a store of chemical energy in phosphate anhydride bonds such as ATP, linking together nucleosides as part of DNA and RNA, and separating cells from the outside environment as phospholipid membranes.

Abiogenesis in Upper Secondary Biology Curricula [PDF]
Evolution: Education and Outreach, 2010 Biological evolution and abiogenesis are distinct branches of science, although they are closely related in the context of a holistic evolutionary conceptual framework. The relationship between evolution and abiogenesis furnishes profound insights into the nature of science, a much emphasised aspect of modern science education.

Simplicity out of complexity? On physical eschatology and abiogenesis
Theoria, Beograd, 2021 Standard reductionist narrative about the necessity of complex systems arising from simple subsystems can be undermined from multiple directions. Here, I shall suggest an unexpected way of such undermining which occurs upon joining our best understanding of the future evolution of the universe (as outlined by physical eschatology) with the ...

A Corollary of the Conant-Ashby Theorem Applied to Abiogenesis
Communications of the Blyth Institute, 2021 From the Conant-Ashby theorem about the "good regulator" is possible to derive a corollary about the origin of life (OOL). This corollary introduces the concept of "good constructor." Thenit is shown as nature, seen as a material system ruled by the laws of physics, cannot be a "good constructor" of the basic machinery necessary for a living cell. As a

An objective Bayesian analysis of life's early start and our late arrival. [PDF]
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 2020 Life emerged on the Earth within the first quintile of its habitable window, but a technological civilization did not blossom until its last. Efforts to infer the rate of abiogenesis, based on its early emergence, are frustrated by the selection effect that if the evolution of intelligence is a slow process, then life's early start may simply be a ...

Panspermia versus Abiogenesis: A Clash of Cultures
Journal of Scientific Exploration, 2022 We are too often led to believe that strident denunciations of an unorthodox position in science are always based upon rational argument and irrefutable fact. This is clearly not so in many instances, one of which relates to panspermia and the dispersal of life throughout the universe. We are led to believe that from the beginning of the enlightenment
