2020's Biggest Breakthroughs in Biology

Ғылым және технология

In 2020, the study of the SARS-CoV-2 virus was undoubtedly the most urgent priority. But there were also some major breakthroughs in other areas. We'd like to take a moment to recognize them.
1. This year, we learned that we had severely underestimated the human brain's computing power. Researchers are coming to understand that even the dendritic arms of neurons seem capable of processing information, which means that every neuron might be more like a small computer by itself.
2. The new Information Theory of Individuality completely reimagines the way biologists have traditionally thought about individuality. Armed with information theory, the researchers found objective criteria for defining degrees of individuality in organisms.
3. Deprived of sleep, we and other animals die within weeks. More than a century of scrutiny failed to explain why lack of sleep is so deadly. This year, an answer was finally found - not inside the brain, as expected, but inside the gut.

    @Social Justice Warrior Sounds like you're using philosophy to prove you're point even though evidence suggests that the brain is the person. All cognitive processes happen in the brain. The brain processses all information our body collects, controls all body functions and makes all decisions. Sure we need arms for example but those are also controlled by the brain. We are who we are even without any limbs but if you remove the brain, no system in our body can continue functioning.

    That's because it is not a breakthrough. Prediction of protein folding at an individual protein level is not biologically meaningful. Proteins in reality interact with many other proteins, and also many proteins contain intrinsically disordered regions which can form more stable structure upon interactions. Additionally, many proteins undergo modifications. Protein structure determination still requires experimental validation. There is bias in algorithms that predict structures because they use a library of known structures, and thus fail in the case of new motifs/folds.

    You'll never be able to actually do that. Your body won't let you. Even sleep deprivation torture requires constant oversight by the torturers. There are people who've been global circumnavigations in balloons who've wound up sleep deprived and almost fallen out of the sky just cos they were unable to stay awake. Regardless of how uncomfortable you are, your body won't let you go without sleep for more than a few days - and it takes a week or more of deprivation for it to actually start dying.

This is what keeps me alive, my questioning everything and finding probable answers. Probable, because new facts can change everything. Cognitive dissonance is the enemy of discovery. I try to stop it when it raises its stupid head. I love finding out I was wrong, and why, and learning. Thank You! Of course, I subscribed. I look forward to learning every day.

    In the last topic, it would be interesting to see how sleep deprivation affects the immune system, and if sleep deprivation affect the immune system in a similar way that stress does it, both causing release of ROS. Also, it could be interesting to stain and quantify for the different forms of the glutathione to get a GSH/GSSG ratio. The increase of ROS can be caused by an increase in the production of these molecules, caused by a decrease in the production of what is supposed to eliminate (GSH), or something else.

    Saying xor is commonly used in neural networks isn't wrong, it just doesn't make much sense. It's like saying the letter "A" is commonly seen on keyboards for small laptops... It's really seen everywhere else, and not specifically more or less in that situation. xor gates, just like other logic gates (and, or, not, nand, nor) are used to build the basic circuitry for computers and basic computing power, and are also commonly used (at least and, or, and not) in programming. A neural network basically just uses trial and error with a large data set to set a bunch of values between 0 and 1 to determine different weights should be assigned to get the correct output for each input. Unless you're saying something else that I'm not understanding....

    So doe this mean lack of sleep effects cellular respiration? Its it like when Your body uses lactic acid fermentation between the the cycle of cellular respiration to keep energy continuous and with lack of sleep it is unable too? Or what is it about sleep that creates oxidative stress

    You'll never be able to actually do that. Your body won't let you. Even sleep deprivation torture requires constant oversight by the torturers. There are people who've been global circumnavigations in balloons who've wound up sleep deprived and almost fallen out of the sky just cos they were unable to stay awake. Regardless of how uncomfortable you are, your body won't let you go without sleep for more than a few days - and it takes a week or more of deprivation for it to actually start dying.

    Are the elementary particles of atoms really knots of strange matter? It looks like obsolete material if it sleeps in a back-explosion into new material or such developments that entail additional complexity similar to obsolete material. Could they be there as a contamination (negligible but present) or short-lived issue? This may be unknown or well-known, but may be discovered and understood by further studies of torsional mathematics or other switches in the problem of complex and less interesting particles.

    This last discovery would give support to the hypothesis that sleep deprivation is partially responsible for some forms of obesity. We already know that gut dysfunction & inflammation can trigger hypotrophy in Adipocytes, but that the sleep function (controlled & modulated by the brain through the Pineal ⇄ Suprachiasmatic Nucleus pathway) is also necessary for supressing Reactive Oxygen Species (ROR), & therefore maintaining gastrointestinal health, is an intriguing new part of the puzzle.

    McCulloch and Pitts have shown in their paper in 1943 that a very small two layered neural network can be trained to solve XOR problem contrary to what the researcher in the beginning says that a large neural network is needed for solving XOR. However, image recognition does require very huge and complex neural network called deep neural networks. It would be best if I read her paper and understand it before commenting any further but I didn't quite understand why she said that a large neural network is needed to solve XOR.

    That Theory of Individuality is particularly interesting to me. One of the most fascinating creatures, in my opinion, is the siphonophore. Like other colonial animals, the individual zooids that compromise the specimen are indistinguishable from each other. They all play different roles (some feeding, some locomotive, etc), and all roles are necessary to the success of the entire creature. So, is the siphonophore equal to the sum of its parts? Does each zooid exist as an individual? Or does it only count when the zooids are all attached to each other and functioning in a macro way? At what point does the siphonophore cease to be simply zooids stuck together and start being considered an actual siphonophore? Colonialism exists throughout the natural world in so many different forms. It will be interesting to follow this field of study.
