Life’s Growth Has a Hidden Ceiling, Scientists Find
Biologists have discovered a “global constraint principle” that explains why life’s growth slows down even when nutrients are plentiful it’s not just one shortage, but a network of internal limits.

Using simulations and biological data (especially from E. coli), they show that as one bottleneck is relieved, others (like enzyme production or membrane space) kick in.

This insight could dramatically improve crop yields and biomanufacturing by helping us better predict how cells allocate resources.
