Form Follows Function?

Public Administration Review, 2010
It is the pervading law of all things organic and inorganic, of all things physical and metaphysical, of all things human and all things superhuman, … that form ever follows function. This is the law. —Louis H. Sullivan, 1896 Form follows failure. —Henry Petroski, 1993

Meniscus Form and Function

Clinics in Sports Medicine, 2020
The menisci are 2 fibrocartilaginous crescents anchored via bony and ligamentous attachments to surrounding structures. Their biochemical composition and multilayered structure make them ideal for converting compressive forces to tensile forces in addition to improving joint congruity and providing shock absorption to weight bearing.

Calcineurin: Form and Function

Physiological Reviews, 2000
Calcineurin is a eukaryotic Ca2+- and calmodulin-dependent serine/threonine protein phosphatase. It is a heterodimeric protein consisting of a catalytic subunit calcineurin A, which contains an active site dinuclear metal center, and a tightly associated, myristoylated, Ca2+-binding subunit, calcineurin B.

Plasmodesmata form and function

Current Opinion in Cell Biology, 2004
Intercellular transport via plasmodesmata controls cell fate decisions in plants, and is of fundamental importance in viral movement, disease resistance, and the spread of RNAi signals. Although plasmodesmata appear to be unique to plant cells, they may have structural and functional similarities to the newly discovered tunneling nanotubes that connect

Avian form and function

Nature Ecology & Evolution, 2020
Analysis of niche related morphological traits in nearly 10,000 species of birds shows concordance between phenotypic traits and trophic function. Avian trophic niche space can be described by only two to four dimensions, with the occurrence of similar adaptive morphologies primarily driven by convergent evolution.

Emotions: form follows function

Current Opinion in Neurobiology, 2013
Emotion research has been divided by debate as to whether emotions are universal in form or cognitively constructed. We review an emerging approach that focuses on function rather than form. Functional affective science suggests that the particular origin of an emotion is relatively unimportant; instead, emotions can be understood in terms of a rapidly

Form, Function, and Functioning

2012
Polyhedra are objects worthy of study and admiration in their own right. They have been inspirations for mathematicians, artists, and architects, and have also served as models for abstract notions about the biological and physical world. The sophistication of such modeling has evolved over the centuries, influencing both physical and mathematical ...
