Junk or useful (Introduction)

One of the problems in cell research has been ignoring parts of cells that appear to have no use and have been considered 'junk'. Like junk DNA discussed on the site many times. Most of it has a use or purpose. Now a tiny organelle appearing in cell division called a 'midbody', previously ignored as of no interest, looks like it is useful in some way.-http://the-scientist.com/2011/09/11/obscure-organelle-in-stem-cells-and-cancer/-
 The lesson is in cellular life, everything seems to be purposeful. Ignore nothing. Living matter is extremely complex. When DNA gets torn and is repaired, the molecules move along the strands and bring them back together as if the molecules could think while they work. - http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2010/03/100311123522.htm
