Eat Less and Live Longer? New Insights on Calorie Restriction and Lifespan
Eric Bourg discusses whether calorie restriction in primates increases lifespan.
Systems Biology of Robustness and Homeostatic Mechanisms
All organisms are subject to large amounts of genetic and environmental variation and have evolved mechanisms that allow them to function well in spite of these challenges. This property is generally referred to as robustness.
Membraneless Nuclear Organelles and the Search for Phases Within Phases
