RNA-Mediated

See first: microRNA-mediated election cycles (1) “There is nothing stoichiometric about light-activated physiological mechanisms that biophysically constrain viral latency. See: MicroRNAs organize intrinsic variation into stem cell states (3/5/20) and MicroRNA Involvement in Signaling Pathways During Viral Infection” 3/10/20 Others have since cited these two works. In some cases the link from light-activated microRNA biogenesis in plants to energy-dependent biophysically constrained viral latency via RNA-directed DNA methylation across kingdoms is clear. Taken together, the links from quantum coherence to coherently…

Yesterday, on the topic of vaccines used to prevent Ebola virus transmission, I wrote: …. There is no such thing as an extinct virus. Their ability to steal energy is biophysically constrained until nutrient stress and/or social stress cause their reactivation. I provided a link to The Darwin Code Today, I read about The misleading evidence that fooled scientists for decades After posting this comment to “The Conversation,” I learned I was blocked from posting anything to Facebook. Have you considered…

Use of definitions in attempts to explain any aspect of species-specific biophysically constrained cell type differentiation and aging has been replaced by the use of model systems of biological processes. Biological processes can be compared to so-called “evolutionary processes” to show that only biological processes need to be considered in the context of Darwin’s “conditions of life” or answers to the the question What is Life? Schrödinger (1944). K. L. Mettinger et al. (eds.), Exosomes, Stem Cells and MicroRNA, Advances…

6/14/13 Nutrient-dependent/pheromone-controlled adaptive evolution: a model ….the model represented here is consistent with what is known about the epigenetic effects of ecologically important nutrients and pheromones on the adaptively evolved behavior of species from microbes to man. Minimally, this model can be compared to any other factual representations of epigenesis and epistasis for determination of the best scientific ‘fit’. 7/25/13 Jay R. Feierman: Variation is not nutrient availability and the something that is doing the selecting is not the individual…

Elaine Morgan on paradigm shifts. Her view of the pseudoscientific nonsense touted by neo-Darwinian theorists and “Big Bang” cosmologists is humorous and she accurately represents what’s been happening to me and others like me for the past two decades. It’s what we expect. It’s your choice to keep laughing about it. See for comparison: Functional screening in human cardiac organoids reveals a metabolic mechanism for cardiomyocyte cell cycle arrest Reported as: Scientists have identified the metabolic pathway associated with heart…

See: Demoncrats fight polycombic ecological adaptation Exosomes as miRNA Carriers: Formation–Function–Future Important aspects will be highlighted as a take-home message (THM) at the end of each paragraph. THM: Extracellular vesicles transport miRNA in a paracrine and endocrine manner. Questions regarding the cellular options of producing either microvesicles or exosomes and their difference in miRNA composition and number are still unknown. In my 2014 invited review, the four F’s, Formation–Function–Future and Copulation were included in details about how the nutrient energy-dependent…
