Abstract: The Cellular Information Tapestry (CIT) Model of Cellular Memory and its Implications for Cancer
Disclaimer: The information presented here is based on a new and developing field of research. While promising, these findings are still hypothetical and require further validation through rigorous scientific investigation.
The Cellular Information Tapestry (CIT) model proposes a novel framework for understanding cellular memory and communication, emphasizing the distributed and context-dependent nature of information storage and retrieval within tissues. Unlike traditional models focusing on individual cell behavior, the CIT model views cells as components of a complex, interconnected network, where information is encoded in the relationships and interactions between cells. This distributed memory system, crucial for tissue homeostasis and regeneration, is hypothesized to be disrupted in cancer, leading to uncontrolled cell growth and aberrant tissue organization. The CIT model builds upon
