Cells, gels and the engines of life: a new, unifying approach to cell function
This book challenges the current wisdom of how cells work. It emphasizes the role of cell water and the gel-like nature of the cell, building on these features to explore the mechanisms of communication, transport, contraction, division, and other essential cell functions. Written for the non-expert...

| Zusammenfassung: | This book challenges the current wisdom of how cells work. It emphasizes the role of cell water and the gel-like nature of the cell, building on these features to explore the mechanisms of communication, transport, contraction, division, and other essential cell functions. Written for the non-expert, the book is profound enough for biologists, chemists, physicists and engineers.--From publisher description. |

PREFACE
SECTION I. TOWARD GROUND TRUTH L
THIS SECTION DEALS WITH GENERALLY ACCEPTED VIEWS OF CELL BIOLOGY. BY
PEEL- ING BACK LAYERS OF ASSUMPTION, IT ATTEMPTS TO GET AT THE CORE OF
TRUTH. IN THE END, AN UNORTHODOX CONCLUSION IS DRAWN ABOUT THE NATURE OF
THE CELL.
1. DEBUNKING MYTHS
2. THE CROAK OF THE DYING CELL 3. CYTOPLASMIC DISCOMFORT
3
25 39
SECTION II. BUILDING FROM BASICS 51
THIS SECTION PURSUES ELEMENTARY CELL FUNCTION, WITH EMPHASIS ON WATER
AND PROTEIN SURFACES. WE SEE HOW THE INTERACTION OF THESE TWO ELEMENTS
GIVES RISE TO ION PARTITIONING, CELL POTENTIAL, AND SEVERAL OTHER OF THE
MOST BASIC FEATURES OF CELL PHYSIOLOGY IN WAYS THAT DIFFER FROM CURRENT
VIEWS.
4. WATER
5. SOLUTES 6. IONS 7. CELL POTENTIALS

BUILDING ON PREVIOUS CHAPTERS, THIS SECTION ADVANCES THE HYPOTHESIS THAT
CELL FUNCTION RESEMBLES GEL FUNCTION. IT EXAMINES THE ROLE OF THE PHASE-
TRANSITION IN GELS, AND CONSIDERS THE POTENTIAL FOR A SIMILAR ROLE IN
CELLS.
8. PHASE TRANSITION: A MECHANISM FOR ACTION 113
SECTION IV. APPROACHING CELL DYNAMICS 131 THIS SECTION PURSUES DETAILS
OF ACTIVE CELL FUNCTION. BUILDING ON PREVIOUS CHAPTERS, IT EXPLORES THE
POSSIBILITY THAT DIVERSE CELLULAR ACTIONS ARE MEDIATED BY A COMMON
MECHANISM-THE PHASE-TRANSITION.
9. SECRETION 10. THE ACTION POTENTIAL 11. TRANSPORT 12. TRANSPORT WITH
FLAIR 13. CELL DIVISION 14. MUSCLE CONTRACTION
133 145 163 185 207 225
SECTION V. TYING LOOSE ENDS 249
THIS SECTION CONSIDERS ISSUES COMMON TO THE PRECEDING CHAPTERS. IT BE-
GINS WITH CELLULAR EVOLUTION AND ENERGETICS, AND THEN MOVES ON TO EX-
PLORE THE UNDERLYING THEMES THAT INTEGRATE THE MATERIAL OF THE BOOK.
15. ENERGY 16. A NEW PARADIGM FOR CELL FUNCTION
