Its interesting how your example perfectly illustrates reductionism in action. There are so many things that can go wrong, which is why cancer is such a heterogeneous group of diseases. There are many mutations that can happen which can lead to cancer growth and they have nothing to do with electrophysiology.
- grishka 2y agoThat's the thing with Michael's research, he injected an oncogene into a tadpole, and then made the tumor cells reconnect with the surrounding tissue and become healthy again, all while the gene was still strongly expressed.
