Just some thoughts spiraling today...We have long regarded the cell as a discrete system — and rightly so, but what if that assumption is limiting? more akin to a Möbius strip of membranes and coexisting liquid phases?

So... Can be animals without #scutoids?
This a difficult question to answer, you cannot get mutants without scutoids.
So we designed a computational model to demonstrated that it is not possible to form epithelial tubes without apico-basal intercalations.

Genome sequencing & single-cell transcriptomics continue to produce findings that challenge the idea that #cancer is purely a genetic disease. This Essay delves into #omics data that questions the somatic mutation theory & presents alternative theories based on GRNs & tissue fields.🧪
