As more information accumulates on the detailed dynamics of life processes, emphasis on steady statebehaviour gives way to the recognition that the organism is a multi-oscillator. Systems biology takesaccount of the controls and balances on inputs and outputs between the environment and the opensystem of the functioning organism. The matching of the system to its periodic environment performedby biological clocks (circadian, tidal, lunar, annual) is belatedly acknowledged and exploited in appliedbiomedicine, even as detailed mechanisms continue to be elucidated. Ancestral shorter-period(ultradian) oscillations, rhythms and clocks are all-pervasive in intracellular regulation and control.Yeast in continuous culture shows all these characteristics as well as population coherence. Temporalorganisation of tissues, organs and of the whole organism; its construction, operation and maintenanceare extensions of these dynamic principles. |
