Since its initial description cell death has appeared as a basic biological phenomenon fundamental for development and regulation of tissue homeostasis whose alteration has important implications in pathology [ 1].
Apoptosis, or programmed cell death, a basic biological phenomenon that allows the regulated destruction and disposal of damaged or superfluous cells, is very important in maintaining homoeostasis [ 6].
Hormonal imprinting is a basic biological phenomenon which was first observed, named, and defined by us more than 30 years ago.
Such a tendency appeared in 1972 when Kerr, Willie, and Currie published their paper "Apoptosis: a basic biological phenomenon" [ 2].
Apoptosis is a basic biological phenomenon that may have a direct or indirect relationship with many diseases, such as cancers and autoimmune diseases [ 29].
The process of cell fate switching that culminates in the iPSC phenotype makes this type of cell an ideal model for studying basic biological phenomena such as development and differentiation.
Molecular recognition rules as defined by such structural knowledge powers the understanding of basic biological phenomena, like enzyme mechanisms and regulation, transport across membranes, the building of large structures like ribosomes, or viral capsids, or how DNA is read and transcription is controlled.
Unlocking the information present within plant genomes will advance our understanding of some of the basic biological phenomena that make individual plant species special and may help in the improvement of agronomic crop species.
Bistability underlies basic biological phenomena, such as cell division, differentiation, cancer onset, and apoptosis.
It may also be essential for understanding some basic biological phenomena, including chemical defense mechanisms since H. fulva was reported as the nudibranch feeds for the mollusk P. atromaculata [5]. Figure 1 Isofulvinol (1) and hydroxydehydroisofulvinol (2).
