Mathematicians Discover Universal Framework for Evolution.

Mathematicians have discovered fundamental molecular-level design principles that explain how molecules interact with each other in adapting to changing conditions while still maintaining tight control over essential properties that are crucial for survival. This universal explanatory framework provides a blueprint for the creation of signaling networks that are capable of adapting across all life forms and for the design of synthetic biological systems. The discovery could provide a fresh approach to tackle personalized medicine challenges such as cancer drug resistance, addiction, and autoimmune diseases.
