I quite agree but we shouldn't forget it's just a simulation which lies on many predictions and assumptions

> Instead of working with cells directly in the lab, the researchers turned to computer simulations to track the biochemical reactions that cells rely on to process information. 

That's intriguing. Seems like they are looking at is some kind of emerging behavior. Yet, this would mean the computer simulations need to be able to capture it. I couldn't find it they use dft, md, or some other formalism.

Computational biology is quite fascinating...

A new study suggests that individual cells might be capable of learning – a behavior once thought exclusive to organisms with brains and complex nervous systems. 

The research, led by scientists at the Center for Genomic Regulation (CRG) in Barcelona and Harvard Medical School in Boston, challenges long-standing assumptions about the fundamental capabilities of cells.
