The concept of mechanism in biology. [PDF]
Studies in History and Philosophy of Science Part C: Studies in History and Philosophy of Biological and Biomedical Sciences, 2012 The concept of mechanism in biology has three distinct meanings. It may refer to a philosophical thesis about the nature of life and biology (‘mechanicism’), to the internal workings of a machine-like structure (‘machine mechanism’), or to the causal ...

Mathematics at the eve of a historic transition in biology [PDF]
arXiv, 2017 A century ago physicists and mathematicians worked in tandem and established quantum mechanism. Indeed, algebras, partial differential equations, group theory, and functional analysis underpin the foundation of quantum mechanism. Currently, biology is undergoing a historic transition from qualitative, phenomenological and descriptive to quantitative ...

RNA Interference: Biology, Mechanism, and Applications [PDF]
Microbiology and Molecular Biology Reviews, 2003 SUMMARY Double-stranded RNA-mediated interference (RNAi) is a simple and rapid method of silencing gene expression in a range of organisms. The silencing of a gene is a consequence of degradation of RNA into short RNAs that activate ribonucleases to ...

Homeostasis as the Mechanism of Evolution [PDF]
Biology, 2015 Homeostasis is conventionally thought of merely as a synchronic (same time) servo-mechanism that maintains the status quo for organismal physiology. However, when seen from the perspective of developmental physiology, homeostasis is a robust, dynamic ...

Magnetic field effects in biology from the perspective of the radical pair mechanism [PDF]
Journal of the Royal Society Interface, 2022 Hundreds of studies have found that weak magnetic fields can significantly influence various biological systems. However, the underlying mechanisms behind these phenomena remain elusive.

Identification of quiescent FOXC2+ spermatogonial stem cells in adult mammals
eLife, 2023 In adult mammals, spermatogenesis embodies the complex developmental process from spermatogonial stem cells (SSCs) to spermatozoa. At the top of this developmental hierarchy lie a series of SSC subpopulations.

SPF45/RBM17-dependent, but not U2AF-dependent, splicing in a distinct subset of human short introns
Nature Communications, 2021 The length distribution of human pre-mRNA introns is very extensive. The authors demonstrate that splicing in a subset of short introns is dependent on SPF45 (RBM17), which replaces authentic U2AF-heterodimer on the truncated poly-pyrimidine tracts and ...
