Organized Complexity: is Big History a Big Computation?

The concept of "logical depth" introduced by Charles H. Bennett (1988) seems to capture, at least partially, the notion of organized complexity, so central in big history. More precisely, the increase in organized complexity refers here to the wealth, variety and intricacy of structures, and should not be confused with the increase of random complexity, formalized by Kolmogorov (1965). If Benne...

What are Stem Cells?

  Stem cells are undifferentiated self regenerating multi potential cells. There are three types of stem cells categories by the ability to form after cells and correlated with the body’s development process. Totipotent: these stem cells can form an entire organism such as fertilized egg. Ploripotent: ploripotent cells are those that can form any cell in the body but cannot form an entire organ...

Observations on how actin filaments become organized in cells

There is general agreement that actin not only is ubiquitous but also is the most commonly encountered protein in eukaryotic cells. Actin, however, is seldom evenly dispersed throughout the cytoplasm, even in the unpolymerized state; instead it is present, often in great amounts, in one part of a cell yet totally absent in others . Much time and energy has been expended in trying to learn how t...
