The Biophysics of Regenerative Repair Suggests New Perspectives on Biological Causation
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2020 at "BioEssays"
DOI: 10.1002/bies.201900146
Abstract: Evolution exploits the physics of non‐neural bioelectricity to implement anatomical homeostasis: a process in which embryonic patterning, remodeling, and regeneration achieve invariant anatomical outcomes despite external interventions. Linear “developmental pathways” are often inadequate explanations for… read more here.
