Page 223 - The Miracle in the Cell Membrane

Harun Yahya (Adnan Oktar)

because of the cell membrane's special Creation, cells are
able to do just that. Along with a decrease in the field of
contact in these micro-protrusions in the cell membrane,
the repellent effect here is also reduced and ceases to rep-
resent any obstacle.
The binding of cells by micro-protrusions also plays
an important role in the cell's direction-finding. For
example, cells migrating in the body of a developing
embryo adhere to a large number of other cells until they
find their intended destination. They thus open the path
before them by repelling other cells and continue to
extend these protrusions in many directions until the cor-
rect contact is made. If a cell did not possess the ability to
extend these protrusions, then it would be as impossible
for it to find its way, no more than a human can do so in
the dark without using his hands. Here, however, the
wealth of Allah's knowledge again reveals the perfection
of the Creation in the entities He has created.

Phyllopod Cells attach to one another and find
their way through micro-protrusions
Tail known as phyllopods. One cell rec-
ognizes another and is capable of
selecting it to attach to it is a mirac-
ulous phenomenon. For example, in
order to constitute a kidney, a kid-
ney cell binds to other kidney cells.
Never, however, does a kidney cell
attach to a blood cell or a liver cell.
How does this tiny structure know
A fibroblast seen under which cells to attach to, in order to
electron micrography
form a kidney? The knowledge of
Allah, as manifested in the cell, is
sufficient to fill countless volumes.
