A New Paradigm in Biology – The Effect of Localization of a Protein on its Anti-genicity

A Paradigm Shift in Biology?

All new developments in biology deal with the issue of the complexity of organisms, often pointing out the necessity to update our current understanding. However, it is impossible to think about a change of paradigm in biology without introducing new explanatory mechanisms. I shall introduce the mechanisms of teleonomy and teleology as viable explanatory tools. Teleonomy is the ability of organ...

Rising atmospheric carbon dioxide and plant biology: the overlooked paradigm.

As human populations continue to expand, concurrent increases in energy and food will be required. Consequently, fossil-fuel burning and deforestation will continue to be human-derived sources of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2). The current annual rate of CO2 increase ( 0.5%) from these sources is expected to continue with concentrations exceeding 600 parts per million (ppm) by the end of the ...

Systems Biology: A Paradigm Shift?

John Bothwell [4] examines skeptically the recent claims made about systems biology in terms such as “a revolution” and “paradigm shift”. Indeed in a recent book [17] , the noted physiologist Denis Noble even goes off the edge, calling for fundamental shifts in our philosophical and even linguistic processes to incorporate oriental . Bothwell on the other hand, argues that Systems Biology “shou...
