“What about the mechanisms that drive embryogenesis? How do these cells and organs know what to become? It is impossible, in a few paragraphs, to capture the immense complexity of the cell-cell and the cell-gene interactions that allow the developing embryo to create each of its parts—organs, tissues, and organ systems—at the right time and in the right place in the body. Each of these interactions is a virtuoso act, an elaborate, multipart symphony perfected by millions of years of evolution.”
― Siddhartha Mukherjee, The Song of the Cell: An Exploration of Medicine and the New Human
