Yeah.
But anyway, that's something I'm also very excited about in my lab.
Like, I don't think that this sound like a Monty Python movie.
We're not dead yet.
I don't think the quorum sensing field is dead yet because we have the microbiome that we don't understand.
And then now we have this idea of cross domains, you know, communication with quantum sensing.
And then again, like a treasure trove of applications that are waiting, you know, to be made for humanity and for the earth.
Yeah, I think, okay, so there's a debate about that like everything, right?
And so for sure, these biofilms or these groups, there are many, many cells in them, right?
But in some
And so people, scientists, wonder, let's call it that, wonder, is this the first step in, you know, a first step in multicellularity, right?
These cells, these groups, they're coordinated, they're doing things together.
I mean, that is what happens both in multicellular organisms, but also just in organs, you know, in, you know, like your heart cells do the same things, right?
And your kidneys, you know, and so we wonder that.
But there's something really, really different, though, because...
Each one of those cells, and I'm talking about the bacterial cells, they can live on its own, right?
So, if I scramble that biofilm up, right, and release it, right, every one of them, those cells can live.
Now, if I do that to your kidney, right?
And so, again, in your body or in a real multicellular organism, every cell has a vested interest in every other cell being healthy, right?
In a bacterial biofilm or a bacterial community, they're all fine on their own.
