Metacognition: computation, biology and function [PDF]
Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2012 Many complex systems maintain a self-referential check and balance. In animals, such reflective monitoring and control processes have been grouped under the rubric of metacognition.

Biology and Function of miR159 in Plants [PDF]
Plants, 2019 MicroR159 (miR159) is ancient, being present in the majority of land plants where it targets a class of regulatory genes called GAMYB or GAMYB-like via highly conserved miR159-binding sites. These GAMYB genes encode R2R3 MYB domain transcription factors that transduce the gibberellin (GA) signal in the seed aleurone and the anther tapetum.

The biology and function of exosomes in cancer [PDF]
Journal of Clinical Investigation, 2016 Humans circulate quadrillions of exosomes at all times. Exosomes are a class of extracellular vesicles released by all cells, with a size range of 40-150 nm and a lipid bilayer membrane. Exosomes contain DNA, RNA, and proteins. Exosomes likely remove excess and/or unnecessary constituents from the cells, functioning like garbage bags, although their ...

Molecular biology II: protein function [PDF]
Surgery (Oxford), 2015 DNA may be viewed as the blueprint for the body, with mRNA/protein the component parts made from this blueprint. However, it is only when proteins are allowed to interact with each other and their surroundings that true biological complexity is achieved.
