The history of #biological thought has long been dominated by a tension between the deterministic rigidity of the genotype and the fluid adaptability of the phenotype. For much of the 20th century, the Modern Synthesis emphasized the primacy of #genetic mutation and natural selection, often relegating #environmental influence to a mere background filter against which #genes were selected. However. . .

Coffee linked to slower biological ageing among those with severe mental illness – up to a limit

New research from King’s College London finds that coffee consumption within the NHS recommended limit is linked to longer telomere lengths – a marker of biological ageing – among people with bipolar disorder and schizophrenia. The effect is comparable to roughly five years younger biological age.

#Jellyfish consist of approximately 1% #biological material. The rest is water. So, you could say that, evolutionarily speaking, they are perfectly tuned to hold a liquid together.

Jellyfish can be used to make mayonnaise and butter

Nature itself has created many stabilizers to maintain the structure of organisms, and over time, we humans have learned to use them in our food.

The concept of the #ecosystem represents one of the most significant intellectual leaps in the history of #biological science. It is not merely a label for a collection of living things, but a sophisticated framework that integrates the chaotic multiplicity of the #natural world into a coherent, functional unit.

The #mitochondrion represents a #biological singularity, a discrete #evolutionary event that fundamentally partitioned life on #Earth into two distinct energetic stratums: the #prokaryotic and the #eukaryotic. While colloquially reduced to the moniker of "cellular powerhouse," the mitochondrion is, in functional reality, a highly integrated endosymbiont that serves as the master regulator of eukaryotic physiology
