Why is ‘cellular communication’ important to our health?
No, this is not referring to Cellular Phones.
I have been reading your articles about nanotechnology. What are the benefits of getting cells to communicate with each other? Is there any downside?
ANSWER: When we talk about cellular communication, we are actually talking about the science of how our bodies function every day. Under a microscope, our bodies are made up of billions of individual cells. Each cell has a nucleus and is programmed to operate in a certain way. The cells are grouped together into larger structures such as muscles, bones, organ tissues, etc., all of which receive instructions from the brain. Our bodies are actually an incredibly complex system of cells working together to maintain our health, to maintain our energy, and to enable us to do whatever we do each day. Cellular communication is what allows all this to happen. When all cellular communication stops, we have died.An interesting point is that our bodies are continually in a process of renewing themselves. Every day, cells die and are replaced with new cells. Some cells are renewed more frequently that others, but science tells us that all of the cells in our body will have been replaced with new cells within seven years. That means that we have a totally new body every seven years, but the unfortunate part of the story is that the body we will have seven years from now will not be exactly like the one we have today. It’s called aging.Much of aging has to do with a gradual breakdown of cellular communication as bodily functions slow down. The cells that are the building blocks of the body no longer get the quality of communication they once did from the brain and from each other. When our bodily functions deteriorate, we usually see it in the form of an older appearance, illness or aches and pains. The medical professions normally address these problems with surgery (physical repair), pharmaceuticals (chemical repair) or some form of more natural manipulation. Addressing these issues with nanotechnology in the form of patches that communicate with the cells, as we discussed in a previous column, is a newer and more direct way of achieving the desired results without invading the body.The nanotechnology patches can only send a signal to the cells to perform the function they were made to perform, so the result is 100 percent natural. However, since the message from the patches is a stronger more direct communication than the cells may be receiving from the brain due to less-than-perfect conditions within the body, a more positive result is common.I personally believe that the science we see now in the nanotechnology patches is the forerunner of a huge transformation in how medicine will be practiced in the future. If cells can be targeted to receive instructions from outside the body, and nothing enters the body except the information instructing the cells to modify their activity, it seems logical that this technology will gradually eliminate the need for many of the medicines and invasive procedures common today.Of course, we are many years away from such a big change in how medicine is practiced now, but the nanotechnology patches that are currently on the market are already gaining acceptance, and it appears to me that medical research will be increasingly moving in that direction.
