  • Morphogenesis is a part the whole known as "Theory of Chaos". Morphogenesis is the creation of nothing into patterns that connect due to their environment. Relates to the birth of everything we all know (the Universe).

    Check: Alan Turing, Boris Belousov, Mandelbrot set (thumbprint of God).

    Personally, and that´s me talking now, religion is a mean to control masses, and no disregard to "Gods" that have been created 2-3 milenia, but this seems plausible, common sense, like Darwin´s theory. =)

  • Non-cancerous cells were isolated from breast biopsy and genetically altered to grow continuously under certain conditions. This is a natural process driven by the gel in which they're embedded that provides environmental signals that direct development of the breast structure (cysts and tubes). First, cell division produces clusters (all cells contact neighbors). Then, some cells "differentiate" such that they tend to migrate as individuals to produce tubules. Cells in center of clusters die.

  • Although a picture says a thousand words and Morphogenisis apears to be a multiplication of cells caused by their interaction with one another I can't be entirely sure. In the first place I didn't see any new cells formed( It seemed to be more like mutation ) and in the second the video had no audio to explain the process. Please, if you can, write a comment back and describe the process to me I am quite interested. Is it cancerous? Is it some sort of natural process?
