Generic Physiological Adaptation
There’s a really interesting paper out in PLoS Computational Biology that’s a follow-up to a paper I first pointed out a year ago, which appeared when PLoS ONE first debuted.
The new paper basically elaborates on the first paper’s computational basis, and they explore different things like “how does the amount of noise affect the selection of different cell states with different growth rates?” or “how general is this selection mechanism?”
Also, this paper invents a new word: “catalyzation”, which apparently is different from “catalysis.”
In any case, check it out! It’s a cool application of biophysics and systems biology to real, relevant biology!
