New Research Shows Cells Can Learn Without The Brain

 Groundbreaking research suggests that single cells might be capable of learning without complex brains or nervous systems.

Researchers from the Centre for Genomic Regulation (CRG) in Barcelona and Harvard Medical School in Boston have published their findings in Current Biology, which could impact future medical treatments by offering new insights into how diseases, like cancer or bacteria, avoid treatment.

Instead of following pre-programmed genetic instructions, cells appear to have a basic form of decision-making, learning from their environments, according to co-author Jeremy Gunawardena, Associate Professor of Systems Biology at Harvard Medical School....<<<Read More>>>....
