Cellular cooperation

The speaker asks how cells coordinate to build organs. He uses “cognitive glue” to describe coordination across cell networks.

The speaker says his research interest in cancer includes both its biomedical importance and what it might reveal about how cells coordinate in multicellular organisms. He asks why cells cooperate to form organs and anatomical structures.

He calls cellular communication a kind of “cognitive glue.” In his conceptual account, networks of cells carry information about larger patterns and coordinate activity toward forming structures such as a liver, kidney or heart.

A cancer analogy

He proposes an analogy between cancer and a breakdown in collective organization.

He proposes viewing cancer as a breakdown of this collective organization, with cells behaving more independently of tissue-level organization. His language about cells having “goals” and a dissociative disorder is an analogy and research framing, not a clinical diagnosis or a complete account of cancer biology.
