•Evolution compelled single-cell organisms to grow larger for survival, as grouped cells enhance organism awareness. With the organization of cells and organs, there arises cytological specialization, ingrained in the genes•when humans digest genetically modified foods, the artificially created genes transfer into and alter the character of the beneficial bacteria in the intestine•We need to move beyond Darwinian theory, which stresses the importance of individuals, to one that stresses the importance of the community•the most effective approach to teach students about organism functioning was by praising the entire group (an organism) rather than individual students (cells). This encouraged collaboration among students, fostering a better understanding of the concept of cell harmony.•evolution is more dependent on the interaction among species than it is on the interaction of individuals within a species. Evolution becomes a matter of the survival of the fittest groups rather than the survival of the fittest individuals•Scientists who follow Darwin continue to make the same error, an overemphasis on "nature" in the form of genetic determinism-the belief that genes "control" biology•The confusion occurs when the media repeatedly distort the meaning of two words: correlation and causation. It's one thing to be linked to a disease; it's quite another to cause a disease. Specific genes are correlated with an organism's behavior and characteristics. But these genes are not activated until something triggers them.•nature vs nurture = genetics vs epigenetics•Cellular nutrient intake is regulated through selective permeability. Cell membranes control what substances enter or exit the cell using nutrients (specific keys which match molecular information)•receptor proteins of the cell membrane symbolize “awareness” and effector proteins symbolize “action”. Effector proteins initiate cell responses or alter gene expression •Even the most complex human organ, the brain, will reveal its secrets more readily when we know as much as we can about the membrane, the cell's equivalent of a brain•the cell membrane and a computer chip are homologues. And both computers and cells are programmable. Another insight is that the programmer lies outside the computer and the cell•When the HPA axis mobilizes the body for fight or flight response, the adrenal hormones directly repress the action of the immune system to conserve energy reserves. In fact, stress hormones are so effective at curtailing immune system function that doctors provided them to recipients of transplants so that their immune systems wouldn't reject the foreign tissues.
Бестселлер молекулярного биолога Брюса Липтона радикально меняет традиционное представление о реальности, открывая новые связи между биологией, психологией и духовностью. На основе новейших научных экспериментов, проведенных автором и его коллегами, в книга говорится: клетки не управляют нашей биологией. Напротив, сигналы извне — в том числе, наши негативные и позитивные мысли — ответственны за формирование ДНК. Таким образом, наши тела способны меняться в зависимости от наших привычек и мыслей....
