Donald E. Ingber pioneered the concept that living cells and tissues mechanically structure themselves using an architectural system first described by [[Buckminster Fuller]], known as tensegrity.

"The Architecture of Life"

Life is the ultimate example of complexity at work. An organism, whether it is a bacterium or a baboon, develops through an incredibly complex series of interactions involving a vast number of different components. These components, or subsystems, are themselves made up of smaller molecular components, which independently exhibit their own dynamic behavior, such as the ability to catalyze chemical reactions.
