Formation and Fate of Cell Organelles is a collection of papers that discusses the manner in which cellular structures arise from the component molecules, particularly on cytoplasmic inheritance, and the problem of spontaneous assembly. One paper describes the process how the phospholipid lecithin, assemble spontaneously into complex structures with great versatility when the lipid molecules are dispersed in an aqueous environment in vitro. Another paper discusses the resolution of the spindle fibers of the mitotic apparatus where the major protein in the apparatus is a 3.5 S particle, with a molecular weight of ca. 68,000. One paper investigates the degree of organization in the bacterial cell where inside the bacterial cell, the DNA act as its own method of compartmentation. Possibly, the DNA forms a coil which contains the mechanisms for the synthesis of the deoxy triphosphate into DNA. The coil leaves none of the mechanisms for the normal metabolism of the cell nor the mechanisms for the formation of RNA. Another paper examines cytoplasmic genes and organelle formation. The collection can prove valuable for bio-chemists, cellular biologists, micro-biologists, and developmental biologists.

The Living Laboratory for Precision Medicine: Solutions for Clinical Implementation provides a comprehensive resource on precision medicine through a convergence of innovation and solutions across multiple domains, including large population cohorts, artificial intelligence, genomics, phenomics, clinical trials, health economics and regulation exemplified by the living lab concept. This book is the first to look at precision medicine through the lens of last-mile solutions which make it broad in scope, practically relevant, and cutting-edge. The book explores the use of precision medicine to stimulate regional economic growth through a healthier population, savings on healthcare, and using innovation as a driver of economic development. The term precision medicine has been popularized by clinical, scientific, political, financial and technological interests as the biggest innovation to revolutionize healthcare. While over the past decade a few precision medicine-based solutions have come to fruition, the transformative leap in healthcare delivery and population benefit is yet to be realized. Current focus on precision medicine primarily focuses on patient stratification which constrains it to either a single disease area, a few sub-disciplines, or using a limited set of genomic technologies. While useful, experience over the last few years indicates precision medicine needs to be considered as a complex process with multiple feedback loops requiring significant interdisciplinary collaboration and innovation.
