The building block electronic and protonic actual occasions are, in the case of
human beings, swept
into vastly more
complex, Chinese box - like sets of containing societies within which there are social levels that can be identified with
cells, others which answer to Aristotle's levels of tissues and organs, and which finally are presided over by what Whitehead refers to as the regnant nexus, a social thread of
complex temporal inheritance which, Whitehead suggests, wanders from part to part of the brain, is the seat of conscious direction of the organism as a whole, and answers to what in Plato and Aristotle is called the soul.
Scientists headed by Dr. Stevens Rehen differentiated
human induced pluripotent stem (iPS)
cells into neural stem
cells and
into further
complex tridimensional structures, known as neurospheres and brain organoids.

into the mechanisms of how POLR3G gene regulates stem
cell state, which in turn sheds light on the
complex mechanisms with which
human embryonic stem
cells both self - renew and maintain the ability to differentiate.
That single
cell contains all the genetic information needed to develop
into a
human, and passes identical copies of that information to each new
cell as it divides
into the many diverse types of
cells that make up a
complex organism like a
human being.

complex recipe that can transform either
human ES
cells or iPS

into functional β
cells.
Now researchers at UC San Francisco have taken the first step toward a comprehensive atlas of gene expression in
cells across the developing
human brain, making available new insights
into how specific
cells and gene networks contribute to building this most
complex of organs, and serving as a resource for researchers around the world to study the interplay between these genetic programs and neurodevelopmental disorders such as autism, intellectual disability and schizophrenia.
«ENCODE has revealed that most of the
human genome is involved in the
complex molecular choreography required for converting genetic information
into living
cells and organisms.»
When scientists first isolated and cultured embryonic stem
cells in 1998, they opened discovery
into the pathways by which a few microscopic
cells grow
into the
complex human body with all of its highly specialized parts.
These
cells provide the starting material to produce
human neurons and follow in real - time their maturation and connections
into complex networks.
