We know that our cells are speaking to each other.

A great deal has been learned about cell communication. The universal nature of cellular structure and organization in bacteria, plant and animal cells has been discovered.

We have about 100 million cells interconnected in our brains. They communicate with one another through electrical signals.

I was driven completely by a desire to understand how cells worked.

Once the principle is there, that cells have the same genes, my own personal belief is that we will, in the end, understand everything about how cells actually work.

I don't think that anyone can really understand anything until it's understood on a cellular, emotional level.

The cells of an organism are nodes in a richly interwoven communications network, transmitting and receiving, coding and decoding. Evolution itself embodies an ongoing exchange of information between organism and environment.

That's the new way - with computers, computers, computers. That's the way we can have the cell survive and get some new information in high resolution. We started about five years ago and, today, I think we have reached the target.

In reality, a cell is a biological mini-me compared to the human body. A cell has every biological system that you have.

I am interested in how cells know what they are and how they should behave in their proper place in the body.
