S.J. Gould and R. Lewontin in their famous “Spandrels paper” (1979) argued that many anatomical elements arise in evolution not due to their “current utility” but rather due to other “reasons for origin”, such as other developmental processes, physical constraints and mechanical forces. Here, in the same spirit, we argue that a variety of molecular processes, physical constraints, and mechanical forces, alone or together, generate structures that are detectable in the cell nucleus, yet these structures themselves may not carry any specific function, being a mere reflection of processes that produced them.
期刊介绍:
Current Opinion in Cell Biology (COCEBI) is a highly respected journal that specializes in publishing authoritative, comprehensive, and systematic reviews in the field of cell biology. The journal's primary aim is to provide a clear and readable synthesis of the latest advances in cell biology, helping specialists stay current with the rapidly evolving field. Expert authors contribute to the journal by annotating and highlighting the most significant papers from the extensive body of research published annually, offering valuable insights and saving time for readers by distilling key findings.
COCEBI is part of the Current Opinion and Research (CO+RE) suite of journals, which leverages the legacy of editorial excellence, high impact, and global reach to ensure that the journal is a widely read resource integral to scientists' workflow. It is published by Elsevier, a publisher known for its commitment to excellence in scientific publishing and the communication of reproducible biomedical research aimed at improving human health.
