原來，癌症來自我們自己，源頭就是深藏於身體細胞中，帶著生命所有密碼的基因。原本在體內執行正常任務的基因，發生微細的變化，攪亂了細胞正常的運作狀態。這個細胞再也不聽命於生長控制機制，背叛了身體這個群體，不停地分裂生長，最後發展成致命腫瘤。 本書描寫整個《細胞反叛》事件。如果把細胞比喻成一輛車子，致癌基因如同油門，腫瘤抑制基因就像煞車，一旦被動了手腳，油門卡到底，加上煞車失靈，細胞這輛車就會失控，衝進致癌的深淵。細胞中還有像電腦主機板的訊息處理線路，主宰細胞命運的無形時鐘、引導細胞自殺的程式……這些精巧機制都在癌症舞台上一一登場。

When we think of the forces driving cancer, we don’t necessarily think of evolution. But evolution and cancer are closely linked, for the historical processes that created life also created cancer. The Cheating Cell delves into this extraordinary relationship, and shows that by understanding cancer’s evolutionary origins, researchers can come up with more effective, revolutiona...(展开全部)
