What Are Cells? (…And Could They Be More?)

Описание к видео What Are Cells? (…And Could They Be More?)

All living things are made of "cells" -- but what exactly is a cell, and what can we learn from them? In this talk, I will discuss how and why cells are the basic structural and functional units of all life on earth. We will then re-imagine the idea of the cell from completely different vantage points: as a chemical computer, as a manufacturing plant, or even as a microscopic robot we can reprogram from the ground up. By viewing living systems as "technology" as opposed to just "biology", we will explore how cells might serve as the foundation for a new biologically-powered future.
