Summary, etc. |
"Song of the Cell: An Exploration of Medicine and the New Human" by Siddhartha Mukherjee delves into the world of medicine, focusing on the intricate mechanisms of the human body at the cellular level. It explores historical perspectives, scientific advancements, and the future of healthcare. The book examines genetics, molecular biology, and personalized medicine, while also addressing ethical dilemmas and social implications. Through storytelling and a blend of scientific knowledge and philosophy, it prompts readers to contemplate the profound impact of medicine on our lives and the potential for transformative breakthroughs.In the late 1600s, a distinguished English polymath, Robert Hooke, and an eccentric Dutch cloth merchant, Antonie van Leeuwenhoek, look down their handmade microscopes. What they see introduces a radical concept that sweeps through biology and medicine, touching virtually every aspect of the two sciences and altering both forever. It is the fact that complex living organisms are assemblages of tiny, self-contained, self-regulating units. Our organs, our physiology, our selves-hearts, blood, brains-are built from these compartments. Hooke christens them ‘cells’. |
