A biological process that allow cells to sense their immediate physical and chemical environment correctly, for example, to help cells sense presence of glucose and insulin, cytokines and growth hormones, signaling molecules and metal ions.
Missing so far has been an entry process that allows users to retrieve ligands that have shapes similar to a query molecule and consequently would potentially allow inferring knowledge (such as biological targets, interactions) from the ligand onto the query.
Microbes share with higher organisms many of the fundamental properties of life genetics, metabolism and have accomplished more than any other group in terms of solving basic biological and biochemical processes that allow adaptation for life on Earth.
However, focusing our study on the early transcriptional events of a specific biological process that occurs under defined in vitro conditions allowed us to identify a few changes in gene expression, including that of Myc, that discriminate between the two opposing cell fates.
This is the biological background assumption of the equivalence of biological process that we introduced earlier.
When temptation is activated in the brain, it induces a biological process that not only turns on the pleasure response, but also the body's physiological stress response.
The use of cell cultures allows to explore biological processes that are difficult and sometimes impossible, to study at the level of organisms.
