👉 Hylomorphist is a concept in biology that refers to a type of cell or organism that lacks certain essential functions. It is often associated with diseases such as cancer, which are characterized by abnormal growth and division patterns. Hylomorphists do not have the ability to grow, divide, or respond to stimuli like normal cells do. This makes them difficult to study or treat because they lack a natural response to certain substances or conditions that would be present in healthy cells.
