The unicellular life cycle of cancer and Entamoeba is uniquely similar, and thus contradicts the molecular phylostratigraphic theory for the origin of cancer. This deep relationship between the two cell systems is supported by the "amoeba model", which provides a greater understanding of the biology of cancer from the evolutionary perspective. [9]
Biological processes are regulated by many means; examples include the control of gene expression, protein modification or interaction with a protein or substrate molecule. Homeostasis: regulation of the internal environment to maintain a constant state; for example, sweating to reduce temperature
Example of a biological network between genes and proteins that controls entry into S phase. However, with knowledge of network interactions and a set of parameters for the proteins and protein interactions (usually obtained through empirical research), it is often possible to construct a model of the network as a dynamical system .
Biological computers use biologically derived molecules — such as DNA and/or proteins — to perform digital or real computations. The development of biocomputers has been made possible by the expanding new science of nanobiotechnology.
Deeper level processing requires more attention being given to the stimulus and engages more cognitive systems to encode the information. An exception to deep processing is if the individual has been exposed to the stimulus frequently and it has become common in the individual’s life, such as the person’s name. [28]
Deep learning applications have been used for regulatory genomics and cellular imaging. [33] Other applications include medical image classification, genomic sequence analysis, as well as protein structure classification and prediction. [34] Deep learning has been applied to regulatory genomics, variant calling and pathogenicity scores. [35]
Synthetic life biology attempts to create living organisms capable of carrying out important functions, from manufacturing pharmaceuticals to detoxifying polluted land and water. [145] In medicine, it offers prospects of using designer biological parts as a starting point for new classes of therapies and diagnostic tools. [145]
Artificial life (ALife or A-Life) is a field of study wherein researchers examine systems related to natural life, its processes, and its evolution, through the use of simulations with computer models, robotics, and biochemistry. [1]
