Hello
I had a professor 4 years ago whose research field was immunology, and
especially grafting of unvertebrates. I remember to have seen a publication
of him that dealt with the graft of two worms (nemerteens), one had a red
color and the other had a yellow color. He did a chessboard !!! by grafting
many pieces of the two worms eachother. In this work he said that worms
were a good model to study the origin and the evolution of the immun system
involved in organ grafts, but concluded as well that this model was very
interesting at the artistic level. Is it not a wonderful exemple of
"crossed fertilization" between Science & Art ?
