Jean Piaget’s Genetic Epistemology as a Theory of Knowledge Based on Epigenesis [PDF]
Athens Journal of Humanities & Arts, 2021 This article aims to highlight Jean Piaget’s theory of knowledge and situate it in this context since its beginnings in Ancient Greece where, in Plato, we already find this seminal idea: knowledge is acquired in successive and upward moments (dialektikê),

Ageing And Cancer As Diseases Of Epigenesis [PDF]
Journal of Biosciences, 2009 Cancer and ageing are often said to be diseases of development. During the past fifty years, the genetic components of cancer and ageing have been intensely investigated since development, itself, was seen to be an epiphenomenon of the genome.

The effects of valproic acid on skin healing: experimental study in rats
Acta Cirúrgica Brasileira, 2022 Purpose: To recognize the effects of valproic acid (VPA), an epigenetic drug, on the skin healing process. Methods: Sixty male Wistar rats were divided into two groups: the experiment treated with VPA (100 mg/kg/day); and the control, with 0.9% sodium ...

The Number of Different Binary Functions Generated by NK-Kauffman Networks and the Emergence of Genetic Robustness [PDF]
, 2007 We determine the average number $ \vartheta (N, K) $, of \textit{NK}-Kauffman networks that give rise to the same binary function. We show that, for $ N \gg 1 $, there exists a connectivity critical value $ K_c $ such that $ \vartheta(N,K) \approx e ...
