Double-Edged Sword of Biological Instability
Implications for Longevity Biological systems are often celebrated for their efficiency, but a groundbreaking concept challenges this narrative: selectively advantageous instability (SAI). Proposed as a universal rule of biology, SAI suggests that instability in molecular, cellular, and even organismal components isn’t a flaw—it’s a feature. This instability enables adaptability, fuels evolution, and may hold the…
