We can see that Statement (7.33) is consistent with the ICFI Hypothesis
discussed in Section 3.2.1, where Intracellular Dissipative Structures (IDS)
is the intracellular dissipative structures which include mRNA levels.
Finally, a third corollary of FPT can be formulated which is almost
synonymous with Statement (7.33):

There exists a conserved pattern of changes in mRNA levels for each
cellular functions, either normal or pathological. (7.34)

The patterns of changes in the mRNA levels that are conserved among
short, intermediate, and long survivors as shown in Figure 7.22 (which
phenomenon being here referred to as the CTRC, in analogy to Conserved
Transcriptional Response to Adversity (CTRA), conserved transcriptional
response to adversity [336]; see Figure 7.24) may provide an empirical
support of Statement (7.34) and hence for FPT.
The term CTRA appeared in the literature in 2013 [334] and refers to
the phenomenon of environmental stress (both physical and mental) trig-
gering a conserved pattern of responses as measured in terms of gene
expression activities of certain specialized sets of genes (see social genom-
ics at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_genomics) [334–338].
Cole [336] summarized the molecular, biochemical, and physiologi-
cal mechanisms underlying CTRA in Figure 1 in [336] which reproduced
in Figure 7.24. It is clear that the phenomenon of CTRA schematically
represented in Figure 7.24 is consistent with FPT as expressed in
Statement (7.34).
