Expectation and futurity: The remarkable success of genetic determinism
Publication date: April 2017 Source:Studies in History and Philosophy of Science Part C: Studies in History and Philosophy of Biological and Biomedical Sciences, Volume 62 Author(s): Maurizio Esposito Genetic determinism is nowadays largely questioned and widely criticized. However, if we look at the history of biology in the last one hundred years, we realize that genetic determinism has always been controversial. Why, then, did it acquire such relevance in the past despite facing longstanding criticism? Through the analysis of some of the ambitious expectations of future scientific applications, this article explores ...

Animal extrapolation in preclinical studies: An analysis of the tragic case of TGN1412
Publication date: February 2017 Source:Studies in History and Philosophy of Science Part C: Studies in History and Philosophy of Biological and Biomedical Sciences, Volume 61 Author(s): Maël Lemoine According to the received view, the transportation view, animal extrapolation consists in inductive prediction of the outcome of a mechanism in a target, based on an analogical mechanism in a model. Through an analysis of the failure of preclinical studies of TGN1412, an innovative drug, to predict the tragic consequences of its first-in-man trial in 2006, the received view is challenged by a proposed view of animal extrapo...

Biology meets physics: Reductionism and multi-scale modeling of morphogenesis
Publication date: February 2017 Source:Studies in History and Philosophy of Science Part C: Studies in History and Philosophy of Biological and Biomedical Sciences, Volume 61 Author(s): Sara Green, Robert Batterman A common reductionist assumption is that macro-scale behaviors can be described “bottom-up” if only sufficient details about lower-scale processes are available. The view that an “ideal” or “fundamental” physics would be sufficient to explain all macro-scale phenomena has been met with criticism from philosophers of biology. Specifically, scholars have pointed to the impossibility of deducing bio...
