Lectures | 18-22 and upwards | 9 years ago | 1349 views
Rating:

Ever since its first appearance, more than 3.5 billion years ago, life has evolved without guiding plan, propelled by: 1) its own intrinsic properties, which, with the help of outside energy, provided the necessary driving force; 2) accidental geneti....

The Lability of the Differentiated State

by Martin Evans
The Lability of the Differentiated State
for 18-22 and upwards,
Lectures | 18-22 and upwards | 9 years ago | 1196 views
Rating:

Many classical studies have shown that cell fates become progressively restricted during development and that this restriction is typically irreversible. This has led to the dogma of the Stability of the Differentiated State: cells cannot typically ....

Updated Notions on Darwinian Evolution

by Werner Arber
Updated Notions on Darwinian Evolution
for 18-22 and upwards,
Lectures | 18-22 and upwards | 9 years ago | 1408 views
Rating:

Charles Darwin had based his theory of biological evolution on the observation that phenotypic variants of a given species can sometimes over-grow their parental population, and he attributed this to selective advantage, i.e., to the impact of natura....

Signals and Signalling Mechanisms in the Central Nervous System
for 18-22 and upwards,
Lectures | 18-22 and upwards | 9 years ago | 1776 views
Rating:

Our brain is a network of about 10^11 neurons, which are connected by synapses. A neuron typically receives input from about 10000 other neurons, which can be either excitatory or inhibitory. The neuron integrates these inputs and generates an 'act....
