Ingarden here tries to describe esp. a 'general structure'[formale Aufbau] of say every day macroscopic 'objects of discourse', anticipating them terminologically as "zeitbestimmte, individuelle, seinsautonome Gegenstände" [time-qualified, individual, autonomously existing objects]. And in the light of rather 90 years of "analytical philosophy" later
[ having sharpened our reservations wrt say "Seinsbestimmungen"]
this verbal packaging seems, as said above, unfortunate. But what (from my p.o.v.) Ingarden wants to draw attention to, is kind of an #ontological #generalization of what nowadays in #philbio is habitually discussed under the heading of #homeostatic systems/processes/objects.

"Importantly, in vivo blockade of IL-17 signaling during aging reduces the proinflammatory state of the #skin, delaying the appearance of age-related traits. Mechanistically, aberrant IL-17 signals through NF-κB in epidermal cells to impair #homeostatic functions while promoting an inflammatory state"

Targeting lymphoid-derived IL-17 signaling to delay skin aging - Nature Aging

Solá, Mereu and colleagues describe a chronic inflammatory state in the aging mouse skin that is characterized by IL-17 production by dermal lymphoid cells and demonstrate the potential of inhibition of IL-17 signaling in protection against skin aging.

@justliz It’s just news, and in #science “new news” needs to get verified and that takes time. The implications of the reported discovery about #climate temperature regulation are irrelevant for human life. It is some consolation, I suppose, that #Earth has #homeostatic #thermoregulation and may retain the ability to support life even if we don’t make it through the next 100,000 years.
