But new knowledge identifying underlying biological processes or behaviors could be beneficial to clinicians, as well, she said.
Diagnoses fail to predict the effectiveness of particular treatments and they do not map neatly onto biological processes.
Since water is critical to most biological processes, following it around can reveal a lot about the health of the tissue involved.
This idea was resisted for a long time, because it seemed that most biological processes happen on the classical level and they do!
Advocates argue that in order to truly understand how basic biological processes work, they'll need to compare and contrast how different stem cell lines function.

They are also at the mercy of weather patterns that can affect biological processes such as when and where they migrate, and when they breed.
Horn posited that the automation of things--starting with biological processes and continuing up to factory assembly lines--has consistently been the foundation for progress in human society.
Much of the research into ageing aims to get a better understanding of the biological processes which trigger the steady deterioration in the cells that make up our bodies.
And, of course, there are plenty of non-biological processes that will produce organics, so it wouldn't be an "A equals B" situation even if Curiosity were to make the identification.
Other biological processes also link seemingly unrelated diseases.
The first, b y Tobias Erb at ETH Zurich in Zurich, Switzerland, looked at whether arsenic really had taken over the the biological processes usually served by phosphorus, as Wolfe-Simon and her colleagues had argued.
Certainly, the best part of the book is Mr Grand's description of the inner workings of his artificial-life software, and the way it mimics biological processes to give rise to all kinds of life-like behaviour.
This is just one more piece of evidence in an interesting set of biological theorists over the past couple of decades in a variety of fields trying to demonstrate that quantum effects do make a difference in biological processes.
The Bohr model is pretty good if you just want to simulate crude biological and chemical processes.

With hopes of getting more people up and moving, scientists are looking at the body's biological and chemical processes for clues to understanding what's behind differing attitudes toward exercise.
It also ignores the considerable value of services derived from the physical, biological, and chemical processes in natural ecosystems, including nutrient recycling, flood risk reduction, water cleaning and storage, climate regulation, and maintenance of biodiversity.

Protect and restore the integrity of Earth's ecological systems, with special concern for biological diversity and the natural processes that sustain life.
The molecular dance in biological beings is one of the most fascinating orchestrations in the micro-world, and the processes governing this tango are unanimously acknowledged to be mysteriously byzantine.
