• Resumen

  • Venkataramanan interviews Eshel Ben-Jacob, a physicist who is taking cues from the collective intelligence of bacteria to learn how to interrupt communication between cancer cells. Here, he explains how this strategy could even turn the disease against itself. Among other things, he reveals whether there are other ways that people's understanding of bacteria can help to tackle cancer.
