Loopomics : a possible breakthrough in the understanding and control of life

for interventions aimed at acquiring control of these systems. Biological loops give rise to ordered and predictable accumulations of materials that realize epiphenomena, including subcellular organelles, cells, tissues, organs, and organisms. These epiphenomena do not help in conceptualizing life and can be only used to identify, map, and manipulate the loop systems. The verification of the Loopomics hypothesis can be carried out by developing loop models of pathogenesis, identifying bifurcation parameters, and addressing them as therapeutic targets. If this approach is successful, it would provide positive validation for the hypothesis and could chart a new direction for biomedical research and applied biology. [Publisher's text]
