Fig. 18.2 A schematic representation of the roles that
ribonoscopy
and
the molecular theory of the
cell (MTLC)
play in personalized medicine
firmly established between 1900 and 1925. In stark contrast, the theory of the cell,
the building block of the human body, is still lacking. The molecular theory of the
living cell developed in this topic may represent one of the first, if not the first,
comprehensive molecular theories of the living cell
(MTLC), to the best of my
knowledge. The
ribonoscopy
described in this topic for the first time combined with
MTLC may turn out to be to drug industry what nuclear reactor engineering has
been to nuclear power industry (see the last row in Table
18.2
). Based on this
comparison, it may be asserted that:
Trying to develop safe and efficacious drugs without a comprehensive molecular theory of
the living cell is akin to trying to construct a safe and efficient nuclear power plant without
quantum mechanics.
