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...
متن کاملSystems 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...
متن کاملVanguards of paradigm shift in radiation biology: radiation-induced adaptive and bystander responses.
The risks of exposure to low dose ionizing radiation (below 100 mSv) are estimated by extrapolating from data obtained after exposure to high dose radiation, using a linear no-threshold model (LNT model). However, the validity of using this dose-response model is controversial because evidence accumulated over the past decade has indicated that living organisms, including humans, respond differ...
متن کاملPreconditioning: a paradigm shift in the biology of myocardial ischemia.
The discovery of preconditioning (PC) has arguably been the single most important development in the field of ischemic biology in the past 20 years. The significance of this phenomenon transcends cardiovascular medicine, since it is ubiquitously observed in virtually every tissue of the body. This article reviews the pathophysiology and molecular basis of myocardial PC, with particular emphasis...
متن کاملModeling Dose-response at Low Dose: A Systems Biology Approach for Ionization Radiation.
For ionization radiation (IR) induced cancer, a linear non-threshold (LNT) model at very low doses is the default used by a number of national and international organizations and in regulatory law. This default denies any positive benefit from any level of exposure. However, experimental observations and theoretical biology have found that both linear and J-shaped IR dose-response curves can ex...
