The absolute frequency of occurrence of elements 1-118 in cell biology abstracts from 1975 to 2011 Source: Supplementary Figure 3A, "Macro-trends in research on the central dogma of molecular biology"
Timescale of select cellular functions A logarithmic depiction of essential chemical and biological cellular tasks, based on published results, demonstrates a picosecond to second time range. Energy transfer across phospholipid membrane leaflets appears to be a common denominator of slower biological functions. Source: Figure 2, "Time in the cell: a plausible role for the plasma membrane"
A proposed outline for philosophical biology investigations Correlative data captured by a given experiment can be broken down into categories based on the perceived relationship between the cause (A) and the effect (B). 'CE' stands for 'cause-effect'. Source: Figure 1, "Correlative-causative structures and the 'pericause': an analysis of causation and a model based on cellular biology"
