Making use of noise in biological systems

Y Ilan - Progress in biophysics and molecular biology, 2023 - Elsevier
Disorder and noise are inherent in biological systems. They are required to provide systems
with the advantages required for proper functioning. Noise is a part of the flexibility and …

Evolution viewed from physics, physiology and medicine

D Noble - Interface focus, 2017 - royalsocietypublishing.org
Stochasticity is harnessed by organisms to generate functionality. Randomness does not,
therefore, necessarily imply lack of function or 'blind chance'at higher levels. In this respect …

[HTML][HTML] The rules of disorder or why disorder rules

J Gsponer, MM Babu - Progress in biophysics and molecular biology, 2009 - Elsevier
The finding that a large fraction of proteins (over 30%) in eukaryotic cells lack a unique three-
dimensional structure but are functional has forced the scientific community to review its …

Advanced tailored randomness: a novel approach for improving the efficacy of biological systems

Y Ilan - Journal of Computational Biology, 2020 - liebertpub.com
Improving the function of biological systems represents a significant task in the fight to
control health conditions and slow down the aging process. Applying the laws of physics to a …

Noise in biology

LS Tsimring - Reports on Progress in Physics, 2014 - iopscience.iop.org
Noise permeates biology on all levels, from the most basic molecular, sub-cellular
