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.

Epigenesis of the Monstrous Form and Preformistic 'Genetics' (Lémery - Winslow - Haller) [PDF]

Early Science and Medicine, 2000
AbstractThe present essay analyzes an eighteenth-century phase of the querelle des monstres and highlights two main points. 1) As the cases of Lémery and Winslow demonstrate, in the period when preformation was the dominant view, the dispute over the origin of monsters carried into the very field of preformation the contrast which had originally ...

“The Utter Blankness Found Within”: Epigenetic Formalism in House of Leaves

Poetics Today, 2023
This article examines epigenetic relations through the study of “blankness” in Mark Z. Danielewski's House of Leaves (2000). The novel's experimental form, as well as the eponymous House on Ash Tree Lane, provide particularly productive models for ...

Differing the Ecological Event: Interpretive Mutations between Bio- and Eco-Deconstruction

Oxford literary review, 2023
In Biodeconstruction (2018) I argued that Derrida, in the Life Death seminar (1975–76), would have anticipated the most recent developments in epigenetics, a field in which the dogma of genetic determinism is radically challenged by noting the influence ...

Atypical epigenesis.

Developmental Science, 2007
It is becoming increasingly clear that little in development is predetermined or permanently fixed. Rather, gene expression is activity dependent, and epigenesis is probabilistic.

Cellular Homeostasis, Epigenesis and Replication in Randomly Aggregated Macromolecular Systems

, 1971
Proto-organisms probably were randomly aggregated nets of chemical reactions. The hypothesis that contemporary organisms are also randomly constructed molecular automata is examined by modeling the gene as a binary (on-off) device and studying the ...

Atomism, epigenesis, preformation and pre-existence: a clarification of terms and consequences

, 1986
The meaning of the terms atomism, epigenesis, preformation and pre-existence is clarified by a historical analysis. Today, two alternative models of organismic change are opposed to each other.
