The Power
of Biological Knowledge
Albert Einstein was
sailing on Little Peconic Bay, NY in
July 1939 when colleagues told him
that bombarding the nucleus of the
uranium atom could produce a chain
reaction and release enormous energy --
in accordance with his formula, E=mc2. His response? ³Daran habe ich gar nicht
gedacht.² ³Iıve never thought of
that.²
Is a stem
cell-based artificial immune system
possible? What would it mean
to capture the power
that took evolution a hundred thousand
years to create?
