Human skin cells as the largest organ tissue, interfaces with our invironment and has a lot of interesting features which can be tapped by Electronic Gadget Designers/Researchers.
Our skin when used as an ordinary material and harnessed its immense power could bring new generation of sensors and eminently highly accurate and sophisticated electronic gadgets.
If you could just make electronic instruments that will automatically tell you the characteristics of a material, sense temperature and pressure, can easily detect which part of the machine is failing, sense movements around it? The drawdown is that it easily gets destroyed at high temperatures and it ages but that might not be a problem when we have unlocked the mystery of cell regeneration and learned how to accelerate it.
And based on the latest biological researches and experiments, skin cells can be reprogrammed to transform itself into stem cells, now we are talking about reconfigurable architecture.

Cells as the basic form of life that we know have the characteristics of organizing themselves to work harmoniously to form a system that is part of a living organism just like us humans. Cells are ultimately highly scalable and so sophisticated. Cells is an envy of most Electronics Engineers and so began to emerge a new area of Science called SyNAPSE(Systems of Neuromorphic Adaptive Plastic Scalable Electronics).
And coincidentaly and very recently, I have been investing most of my time developing an intelligent electronic switch(EiBox) with an original vision of creating a system that will enhance the lifestyle of every man on the planet by basically improving the efficiency and usefulness of the appliances in the house. But then, I realized how important EiBox can be, it can be used as a security alarm, energy saver and since Eibox can communicate with other EiBoxes in three different methods(RF, Wired and through the use of a hub or PC which doubles as a command center), I realized that I can create a program to make Eibox represent the neuron or a cell and the network of EiBoxes can be made intelligently to behave like a living organism. EiBox can be made scalable up to the biological level.
What does this means? It’s like having a home that thinks and intelligent enough to protect itself. So each time you leave the house, you’d think as if you have your house in your pocket. There is nothing you don’t know about your house even when you are in it.

In the next mellinium or probably more, if ever the human race can make it and cell communications and behavior has been mastered and haas become a common knowledge, is it also possible that humans can invent devices to instruct the cells to transform a living organism from one form to another and back to its orginal form and composition?
I believe that this can be possible because as we commonly know it, cells are powerfull enough and with catalyst, can form living tissues on a petri dish and cells have the ability to manipulate the atom…which how they mainly operate…remember how the slight diffrences in the structure of sugar/protein can cause the cell to change accordingly?

The Cell seems to be endlessly working processing information and communicating with its neighboring cellls to form the brain that does a lot of thinking. The brain which is of course made up of cells is where our Mind or our consciousness is.
The Mind is such a wonderful creation because it is capable of doing wonderful things aside from the fact that it gives humans the necessary thinking power. It is capable of creating new ideas, learning new knowledge, inventing new devices, discovering what lies beneath and the best of all and is so mysterious and inexplainable is that it is capable of loving and defying logic unpredictably.
This latter could be because no one can ever provide absolute explanation as to how cells contribute to the Mind’s thinking power.

The existence of the cell was first known during the middle of the 16th century mainly because of the advancement in microscopy. Why is that so, when there are a number of cells big enough to be seen by the naked eye like the biggest cell — the Ostrich Egg?
History had it that the Egg Cell during that time is something where the chicken came from and it was not thought of anything else other than a delicious and nutritious food. No one ever really thaught of this humble Egg Cell as one type of the most fundamental building block of life.
It is really fascinating how the human knowledge in this field has evolved from just being a food to the most precious and the most beautiful and leading proof of God’s power to design an object incomprehensible to us human as of the moment.

As mentioned in the previous article, the most potent Stem Cell can only be found in an 8-day old fertilized human egg, if this is true, then there is no other way to produce stem cell other than the method of fertilizing a human egg either naturally or artificially.
Why is this so? It is an overwhelmingly not just a coincidence…it is the cycle of life that asserts that only God is capable of creating new life through (not the sexual union of a man and a woman but) the union of the sperm cell and the egg cell.

Cells are one of the basic ingriedients that made life possible. Cells contains all the instructions needed to form life as embeded in the DNA.
I have been thinking for several days know the comparison of Electronics and Cell Biology. The key elements that were used to create the microprocessor are diodes, transistors and capacitors. These three key components are used to manipulate the flow electrons to perform certain tasks that astonishingly has become the main driving force that changed human lives in the last 3 decades. The very basic foundation of the design was based on the truth table in Boolean Algebra.
I was wondering if such thinking can also be applied in Cells but only to a far more sophisticated level. Perhaps instead of just merely switches, 0’s and 1’s, maybe Cells uses more sophisticated logics that we could not comprehend or reverse engineer because we are just not good at it. Or maybe because the current human knowledge is not yet enough to understand or explain the logic used to create a living organism.

Stem Cells are well known to be the possible answer to an everlasting life because stem cells are capable of transforming themelves into other types of cells aside from having exceptional properties of subdividing itself into more cells similar to itself. It is the answer to the fountain of youth as everyone sees and not only that, at present, many researchers use stem cells to grow tissues and organs on a petri dish which is truly amazing.
But unfortunately, the most potent stem cells can only be found on an 8-day old fertilized human egg which sparks a lot of debate worldwide about this issue…artificial mass reproduction of human fertilized egg is highly immoral is what major religious organizations says and therefore hamper the research and development.
But despite the major obstacles, science has not given up easily as more and more stem cells manufacturing facilities are being constructed worldwide.

If cells do not have intelligence, then why can they arrange themselves to perform a specific task? Well, I know that the instructions is stored in the DNA but it is unbelievably accurate and yet very very complicated. I don’t feel that I have cells, but I can feel pain, happiness, loneliness…and yet I am not aware I am being made up by cells..how could that be?
Does this suggest that cells alone can not really make me up? How come I have this capability to think and calculate? Is it possible that I have spirit that is assigned by God? But how come I still don’t feel it? I had an experience during my younger years that aside from us, there exist supernatural beings that we don’t see nor feel…they have intelligence and yet they are not made up of cells…just gas, unseen and yet intelligent and an move objects and are able to communicate with us.
This is true because I have seen how it moves objects and an answer questions…if this is the case…could it be that our spirits are the ones that gives us the intelligence? Can we free our spirits from our physical self and retain our conciousness?

Cells are alive but do not have the intelligence just like we humans are which make their behavior and properties predictable and manipulatable. If this is the case, and proven to be true, then cell signalling can be described by mathematical equations which means, if we know this equations, then designing new life forms will be a lot easier just like how we design eletronic gadgets and computers. Perhaps this will help us solve the elimination and prevention of the occurence of cancer and other related diseases that involves errors in cell signalling.
The current ultimate question at present is what is this mathematical equation that describes communications between cells? Our brightest Scientists and Engineers are constantly looking for the answers and there seems to have a good progess in this field lately.
The emergence of the Symbolic Systems Biology has become popular but still very much in its infancy.
