Abstract

V originále

Multicellular organism is formed by society of various cells developing and acting in correct place and time for maximal benefit of the whole system they belong to. Tumors develop from cells violating the basic rules of coexistence and collaboration. Eleven hallmarks distinguishing tumors from healthy tissues confirm importance of adherence to such rules. Do these hallmarks and rules reflect general principles of correct functioning of complex living systems? Can they serve as inspiration for human society?
