A cell can be specialized into plant cells, animal cells,
different organ cells.
It can be specialized into sperms, eggs which are capable of
producing tiny offsprings.
That's how FractalPlants were created ?
There are also cells that don't specialise but just
grow and grow and grow and grow uncontrollably.
What are these cells ? Are they called tumor cells or
cancer cells ?
Of course, cell can also be specialised into that wonderful
FreeCell. ;-)

PhiHo.
