Feb 2 2012: I find it amazing how any organism is able to run efficiently, sometimes with no outside assistance. Specifically what intrigues me is how cells divide, and operate. It is interesting how stem cells can decide what type of cell they will become, as if they were blank CD's on a machine line, waiting for the programmer to imprint the chosen software on them. The only difference is, a burned CD cannot replicate itself, it needs another machine to duplicate it.
It is also interesting how these cells can work together to form such a complex system as the body, almost as if they communicate with each other on an individual level. How much do we really know about how these systems interact?
