Lets see how busy our cells are.

November 22, 2008

This is an awesome video demonstrating molecular mechanisms in our cells.

I love it! :D

(Errmm..is there anybody here study molecular cell-bio ?)

CRANberry Russian Federation	it's not easy but possible... Thank you for your great explanation. The mankind has made and is making huge steps in the shpere of gene structure cognition;and it's true, that many illnesses can be cured, or are ready to be cured after realizing how the mechanisms of the gene interrelations work. What is your study in this field devoted to?

jadd051 Thailand	Glad to see that you both like it :) For the question; Do you think, it is possible to study all the functions of organism 100%? If we are talking about human (only one species) alone, I think, now a day, we already have a quite clear picture of functions of each organs in our body. But, if the term 'all functions of organism' means all physiological mechanisms in molecular level in all cell types. That's a very huge area, but also the ultimate goal. There are approximately 20,000-25,000 genes in our genome. In a functional context, intracellularly, interactions of biomelecules are dynamically going on, many separated events occur simultaneously but linked to each other, like many long cascades of dominos that would be connected at some points. And, intercellularly, there are a large number of cellular interaction types too. To elucidate every connections of the interactions requires a huge investment and dedication of brilliant scientists who can creatively design great experiments. As far as I know, there are many attempts using high-troughput methods to observe such molecular interactions. Currently, the gaining knowledge increases exponentially. In summary, I think, it's not easy but possible. It's just a matter of when. The accumulating of the information will keep going on until the goal is accomplished, IMHO.

CRANberry Russian Federation	When I studied the structure of an atom, I always thought that The Solar System could be just one atom of the Universe. Watching the video about the cell structure of a human organism, I thought, that a human body could be a whole Universe. Do you think, it is possible to study all the functions of organism 100%?
