The evolution of self-consumption
To study the evolution of a body part or a trait, one needs to address two questions. First, what is the trait for? Second, how could it evolve by small steps that gave some advantage to the organism that carried them? It is also necessary to suggest a...

Cancer evolution by non-Darwinian mechanisms
In the Darwinian model of cancer evolution, the variations among cancer cells result in differential survival of some clones, which dominate the tumor mass. This view was challenged by discovering that tumors comprised multiple subclones that differ ge...

A cell eating itself, leveraging autophagy to treat cancer
What is autophagy? Autophagy is a process by which the cell can maintain and recycle its components. The process starts by forming a membrane around the target. This structure then is fused with lysosomes which contain enzymes to lyse and degrade the...
