model of the living cell, the Bhopalator. The geometric figure employed here is called
the BCT (Body-Centered Tetrahedron) (see Figure 10.15) that has been found to provide
a useful template for modeling many processes and structures in the Universe (see
Section 10.17).ŚŽƉĂůĂƚŽƌŽŶĨŽƌŵŽŶƐ/^ƐĞůů&ŽƌĐĞĞůů>ĂŶŐƵĂŐĞemphasis, temporarily ignoring the rest of the components, for the conveni-
ence of thought). As we attempt to apply the cell language theory in this
chapter to solve practical problems in biomedical sciences, our emphasis will
be placed on the intercellular or intracellular communications (or semiosis)
mediated by the cell language, but this does not mean that the other three
theoretical components are not involved in one way or another.7.1 The Need for a New Paradigm in Biomedical Sciences
H. H. Heng, the author of Debating Cancer [297], recently stated that:The explosion of genomic information has generated both excitement
and confusion. The paradox of knowing more about cancer’s genetic
landscape yet understanding less of its common molecular basis repre-
sents such an example. It was believed or hoped by many that the
cancer genome sequencing project would once and for all solve the
mystery of cancer, without anticipating that the powerful technologyb2861_Ch-07.indd 290 17-10-2017 12:06:23 PM
