Molecular biology II: protein function [PDF]
Surgery (Oxford), 2009 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.

Function, 2022 Abstract In 1966 Francis Crick declared that: “The ultimate aim of the modern movement in biology is to explain all biology in terms of physics and chemistry.” This motivated us to contemplate approaches that unify biology at a fundamental level. Exploration led us to consider the features of energy, entropy, and motion.

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. In this introductory article to a Theme Issue on metacognition, we review recent and rapidly progressing developments from neuroscience, cognitive psychology, computer ...

Periostin: biology and function in cancer
Cancer Cell International, 2022 AbstractPeriostin (POSTN), a member of the matricellular protein family, is a secreted adhesion-related protein produced in the periosteum and periodontal ligaments. Matricellular proteins are a nonstructural family of extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins that regulate a wide range of biological processes in both normal and pathological conditions ...

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.

THEORIA, 2022 One of the most important things that the Darwinian revolution affects is the previous teleological thinking. In particular, the attribution of functions to various entities of the natural world with explanatory pretensions. In this change, his theory of natural selection played an important role.

Arteriosclerosis, Thrombosis, and Vascular Biology, 2011 Recent evidence indicates that stem/progenitor cells are present in the adventitia and participate in vascular repair and the formation of neointimal lesions in severely damaged vessels. Data have also demonstrated that these resident stem/progenitor cells could differentiate into endothelial or smooth muscle cells in response to different stimuli ...

Target identification strategies in plant chemical biology [PDF]
, 2014 The current needs to understand gene function in plant biology increasingly require more dynamic and conditional approaches opposed to classic genetic strategies.
