商品簡介
Tras los 憖itos de El emperador de todos los males y El gen, Siddhartha Mukherjee se adentra en la incre燢le y apasionante historia de la c幨ula.
Bienvenidos a la apasionante historia de la c幨ula. En este nuevo libro, el onc鏊ogo y divulgador Siddhartha Mukherjee nos acompa鎙 en un viaje fascinante a partir de uno de los mayores descubrimientos cient璗icos de la historia: el hecho de que todos los organismos vivos complejos est幯 constituidos por unidades diminutas, aut鏮omas y autorreguladas, esas que en el siglo XVII Robert Hooke vio a trav廥 de su microscopio y bautiz?con el nombre que hoy conocemos. Aquel hallazgo, seguido de una cada vez mejor comprensi鏮 de la fisiolog燰 celular cambi?para siempre (y a determina) la manera en que abordamos la medicina, la ciencia, la biolog燰, las estructuras sociales y hasta la cultura. Una fractura de cadera, una parada cardiaca, el Alzheimer, el sida, un c嫕cer de pulm鏮... todo, absolutamente todo, puede explicarse como el resultado del funcionamiento an鏔alo de las c幨ulas o de los ecosistemas que estas forman. Y tambi幯 todo deber燰 poder tratarse mediante su manipulaci鏮 terap徼tica. Esta revoluci鏮 en el campo de la biolog燰 celular ya ha demostrado resultados transformadores y hoy se plantea como uno de los avances cient璗icos que m嫳 vidas pueden salvar. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
«En un relato a la vez l甏ico y amplio, Mukherjee nos lleva a trav廥 de una historia de la comprensi鏮 humana: desde el descubrimiento en el siglo XVII de que estamos formados por c幨ulas hasta la actual tecnolog燰 de vanguardia para manipular y desplegar c幨ulas con fines terap徼ticos . The New Yorker Winner of the 2023 PROSE Award for Excellence in Biological and Life Sciences! Named a New York Times Notable Book and a Best Book of the Year by The Economist, Oprah Daily, BookPage, Book Riot, the New York Public Library, and more! In The Song of the Cell, the extraordinary author of the Pulitzer Prize-winning The Emperor of All Maladies and the #1 New York Times bestseller The Gene "blends cutting-edge research, impeccable scholarship, intrepid reporting, and gorgeous prose into an encyclopedic study that reads like a literary page-turner" (Oprah Daily). Mukherjee begins this magnificent story in the late 1600s, when a distinguished English polymath, Robert Hooke, and an eccentric Dutch cloth-merchant, Antonie van Leeuwenhoek looked down at their handmade microscopes. What they saw introduced a radical concept that swept through biology and medicine, touching virtually every aspect of the two sciences, and altering both forever. It was the fact that complex living organisms are assemblages of tiny, self-contained, self-regulating units. Our organs, our physiology, our selves--hearts, blood, brains--are built from these compartments. Hooke christened them "cells." The discovery of cells--and the reframing of the human body as a cellular ecosystem--announced the birth of a new kind of medicine based on the therapeutic manipulations of cells. A hip fracture, a cardiac arrest, Alzheimer's dementia, AIDS, pneumonia, lung cancer, kidney failure, arthritis, COVID pneumonia--all could be reconceived as the results of cells, or systems of cells, functioning abnormally. And all could be perceived as loci of cellular therapies. Filled with writing so vivid, lucid, and suspenseful that complex science becomes thrilling, The Song of the Cell tells the story of how scientists discovered cells, began to understand them, and are now using that knowledge to create new humans. Told in six parts, and laced with Mukherjee's own experience as a researcher, a doctor, and a prolific reader, The Song of the Cell is both panoramic and intimate--a masterpiece on what it means to be human. "In an account both lyrical and capacious, Mukherjee takes us through an evolution of human understanding: from the seventeenth-century discovery that humans are made up of cells to our cutting-edge technologies for manipulating and deploying cells for therapeutic purposes" (The New Yorker).
