Communication Within The Cell

nearest the coast (cytosol), following rivers and trade routes (critical
nodes of signaling pathways already known). Further exploration
will radiate out from these nodes, and later expeditions will push
further into the interior (cytoplasm to nucleus)… 49
The fact is, as the paragraph above shows, the information that we
have at our disposal regarding cellular communication is quite limited
and that, in the years ahead, microorganisms will increase our knowl-
edge or other systems.
There are scientists who speak clearly and sincerely on this subject.
One of these is the 1999 winner of the Nobel Prize in medicine, Günter
Blobel who did research on the "zip code" system in cells. This world-
renowned professor said the following in an interview on this subject:
It's shocking how little we know about how a cell works . . . And
that will take a long, long time to figure out. 50

The twenty-first century will, as science advances, allow us to learn
more incomparable wonders of communication within our cells. For a
person of understanding, every system that is being discovered is a dem-
onstration of God's eternal wisdom and power, and a sign that reminds
us that the only Being worthy of praise is God.
