Self-organized Criticality in Living Systems [PDF]
, 1994 We suggest that ensembles of self-replicating entities such as biological systems naturally evolve into a self-organized critical state in which fluctuations, as well as waiting-times between phase transitions are distributed according to a 1/f power law.

Early suppression of excitability in subcortical band heterotopia modifies epileptogenesis in rats
Neurobiology of Disease, 2023 Malformations of cortical development represent a major cause of epilepsy in childhood. However, the pathological substrate and dynamic changes leading to the development and progression of epilepsy remain unclear.

The rapid developmental rise of somatic inhibition disengages hippocampal dynamics from self-motion
eLife, 2022 Early electrophysiological brain oscillations recorded in preterm babies and newborn rodents are initially mostly driven by bottom-up sensorimotor activity and only later can detach from external inputs. This is a hallmark of most developing brain areas,

The Biosemiotic Approach in Biology : Theoretical Bases and Applied Models [PDF]
, 2011 Biosemiotics is a growing fi eld that investigates semiotic processes in the living realm in an attempt to combine the fi ndings of the biological sciences and semiotics. Semiotic processes are more or less what biologists have typically referred to as “

Plants, 2020 Reacting to environmental exposure, most higher plants activate secondary metabolic pathways, such as the metabolism of phenylpropanoids. This pathway results in the formation of lignin, one of the most important polymers of the plant cell, as well as a ...

Adaptation in Living Systems [PDF]
Annual Review of Condensed Matter Physics, 2018 Adaptation refers to the biological phenomenon where living systems change their internal states in response to changes in their environments in order to maintain certain key functions critical for their survival and fitness. Adaptation is one of the most ubiquitous and arguably one of the most fundamental properties of living systems.

Communications Physics, 2023 Background-free detection of inherently weak chiroptical signals remains one of the great challenges in research communities and industries. We demonstrate coherent multipolar amplification of chiroptical responses via a magnetoelectric nanoparticle ...

A Category Theoretical Argument Against the Possibility of Artificial Life [PDF]
, 2006 One of Robert Rosen's main contributions to the scientific community is summarized in his book 'Life itself'. There Rosen presents a theoretical framework to define living systems; given this definition, he goes on to show that living systems are not ...

Integrative concept of homeostasis: translating physiology into medicine [PDF]
, 2011 To truly understand living systems they must be viewed as a whole. In order to achieve this and to come to some law to which living systems obey, data obtained on cells, tissues and organs should be integrated.
