In certain respects, cells are less like machines and more like people. True, they have lots of components, but they also have lots of personality. For example, when specific groups of people are studied in aggregate (conservatives, liberals, atheists, evangelicals), they appear to be fairly uniform and predictable. But when looked at one person at [...]

In certain respects, cells are less like machines and more like people. True, they have lots of components, but they also have lots of personality. For example, when specific groups of people are studied in aggregate (conservatives, liberals, atheists, evangelicals), they appear to be fairly uniform and predictable. But when looked at one person at a time, individuals often break the preconceptions.

Same with cells.

Researchers tend to identify characteristics of particular cells by looking at millions at a time. As a result, they’ll find that, say, “group A” responds very well to a particular cancer treatment, whereas “group B” does not. They will then often compare group A to group B to find out why.

Understanding how the body’s tiny components communicate is opening up vast territory in drug research.
Peter Sorger spent eight years developing new laboratory gadgets and arcane mathematical theorems to explain how networks of genes and proteins can go awry, causing cancer, arthritis and other diseases. But when he went looking for [...]
