Boni Besler (Bonnie Bassler) o tome kako bakterije komuniciraju

Bonnie Bassler je otkrila da bakterije "razgovaraju" jedne s drugima, koristeći jezik hemije, koji im omogućava da koordinišu odbranu i organizuju napade. Ovo otkriće ima zapanjujuće implikacije na medicinu, industriju -- i naše razumevanje nas samih.

Bacteria, though tiny and ancient, outnumber human cells ten to one and shape our health in profound ways. They use a sophisticated chemical language to sense their numbers and act collectively, from glowing in squid to launching coordinated attacks in the human body. This chemical 'quorum sensing' lets them distinguish between self and other, orchestrate complex behaviors, and even evade traditional antibiotics. Harnessing or disrupting these conversations could transform medicine and reveal the roots of multicellular life.
