A new biological law has been proposed offering key insights into the processes of evolution and aging. Biological laws are recognized patterns that hold true for a group of living organisms.

It may have fewer than many of the other sciences, but biology does have two dozen or so “rules”—broad generalizations about the behavior or nature and evolution. Now, USC researchers want to add a ...

Now, John Tower, professor of biological sciences at USC Dornsife, believes he has uncovered another rule of biology. He published his idea on May 16 in the journal Frontiers in Aging.

Another example of biological 'rules' lies in repeating structures that obey mathematical power laws as they increase in size, such as the ever-expanding spiral of a nautilus shell.
