Quantum Mechanics predicts evolutionary biology

Progress in Biophysics and Molecular Biology, 2018
Nowhere are the shortcomings of conventional descriptive biology more evident than in the literature on Quantum Biology. In the on-going effort to apply Quantum Mechanics to evolutionary biology, merging Quantum Mechanics with the fundamentals of evolution as the First Principles of Physiology-namely negentropy, chemiosmosis and homeostasis-offers an ...

Atherosclerotic lesion mechanics versus biology

Zeitschrift f�r Kardiologie, 2000
The world-wide importance of acute vascular syndromes is increasing. Acute events are usually triggered by fibrous cap disruption and subsequent thrombus formation. Histological studies have established specific structural features common among unstable plaques.

Quantum Effects in Biology

Optics and photonics news (Print), 2019
Recently, there has been a growing interest and controversy about the role that quantum effects might play in some biological processes. Here, two heavily studied examples of such effects are discussed: The impact of quantum coherence in the efficiency of ...

Mechanics, fields and statistical mechanics in developmental biology

Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. Series B. Biological Sciences, 1977
Roux explicitly adopted mechanical causality as a necessary explanatory principle in embryology, while Driesch introduced the complementary idea of the morphogenetic field. The present status of these concepts in developmental biology is described, together with recent developments in the formal description of field behaviour.

Synthetic Biology: A Challenge to Mechanical Explanations in Biology?

Perspectives in Biology and Medicine, 2012
In their plans to modify organisms, synthetic biologists have contrasted engineering and tinkering. By drawing this contrast between their endeavors and what has happened during the evolution of organisms by natural selection, they underline the novelty of their projects and justify their ambitions.

Transposon control mechanisms in telomere biology

Current Opinion in Genetics & Development, 2018
The ends of linear eukaryotic chromosomes, telomeres, are elongated by reverse transcriptase activity provided by the enzyme telomerase, or by specialized telomeric retrotransposons. Telomerase and telomeric retrotransposons represent unique examples of structurally different, but evolutionary and functionally related machineries that generate ...

Mechanisms of HNO biology

Nitric Oxide, 2012
Nitroxyl (HNO) is the one-electron reduced and protonated congener of NO. It has been reported that HNO has numerous important and therapeutically useful biological properties. Although it has not been demonstrated that HNO is endogenously generated, developing HNO-donors as pharmacological agents has become an area of significant interest.

MECHANISMS OF APOPTOSIS THROUGH STRUCTURAL BIOLOGY

Annual Review of Cell and Developmental Biology, 2005
Apoptosis plays a central role in the development and homeostasis of metazoans. Research in the past two decades has led to the identification of hundreds of genes that govern the initiation, execution, and regulation of apoptosis. An earlier focus on the genetic and cell biological characterization has now been complemented by systematic biochemical ...

Circadian Mechanisms in Brain Fluid Biology

Circulation Research
The brain is a complex organ, fundamentally changing across the day to perform basic functions like sleep, thought, and regulating whole-body physiology. This requires a complex symphony of nutrients, hormones, ions, neurotransmitters and more to be properly distributed across the brain to maintain homeostasis throughout 24 hours.
