“The Constant Regeneration: How the Human Body Replaces 330 Billion Cells Every Day”

In our body, 330 billion cells are born and die every day. In order for these enormous cells to fulfill their roles, sophisticated information exchange between them must take place.

While we live and breathe, the cells that make up our bodies are constantly undergoing generational changes. When one cell dies, it quickly creates another cell to take its place. How fast is the generational shift happening?

According to biologists Ron Sender and Ron Milo of the Weisman Institute for Science in Israel, the human body makes and loses about 330 billion cells a day. According to this, the human body is calculated to replace more than 3.8 million new cells per second.

In order to maintain a constant organ size after reaching adulthood, the number of newly created and lost cells must be precisely matched.

Research has revealed the principle of maintaining the balance between the generation and destruction of cells in the tissue unit. According to this, while aging cells are shed and new cells are regenerated in their place, information is exchanged between cells to ensure that organs are of a certain size. has been shown to be able to maintain

Then, how does information exchange between cells take place? Hormones are responsible for communication (communication) between cells.

Cells become soft tissues like blood vessels or skin when loosely bundled together, and become hard like bones when tightly united. The united tissues form one organ, such as the liver, heart, stomach, lungs, and kidneys.

The 10 organ systems are classified into skin system, skeletal system, muscular system, nervous system, endocrine system, circulatory system, urinary system, and reproductive system. The important thing here is that old and diseased cells commit suicide, and living cells undergo metabolic actions, and these metabolic actions are largely divided into two categories.

One is a process of obtaining energy by decomposing nutrients in mitochondria in cells, and the other is a process of synthesizing cells using energy. Therefore, the human body grows, reproduces, maintains its structure, and adapts to the external environment through cellular metabolism, which is the role of hormones.

Hormones act as messengers of information transmission. Therefore, hormones are the language of cells. This means that hormones are just as important to deliver accurate information between cells, just as communication is possible only through words.

330 billion cells die and are born every day, but what will happen to our body if accurate information is not delivered?
