The blood circulatory system, while seemingly mundane, is essential for you to survive, providing oxygen and nutrients to your cells, and removing waste and carbon dioxide.

Here's a key biological insight: Cancer cells grow and die faster than normal cells, and when they die, DNA is shed into the blood system.

Since we know the signatures of these cancer cells from all the different cancer genome sequencing projects, we can look for those signals in the blood to be able to detect these cancers early.

While your body is mostly healthy cells, most of the DNA that's detected will be from healthy cells.

However, there will be a small amount, less than one percent, that comes from the cancer cells.

Similarly, taste receptors once thought to be found only in the tongue, are now known to be expressed in cells and tissues throughout the body.

We've identified a number of different olfactory and taste receptors in the kidney, one of which, olfactory receptor 78, is known to be expressed in cells and tissues that are important in the regulation of blood pressure.

The same code that we use to find stop signs or pedestrians, bicycles in a self-driving vehicle, can be used to find cancer cells in a tissue biopsy.

You're feeling some of the 100 billion bacterial cells that live on our skin.

Now, pathologists look at hundreds of slides and millions of cells every day.

It was the sugar that our biology professors taught us about in the context of the coating of your cells.

Maybe you didn't know that your cells are coated with sugar.

And when I dug through my notes, what I noticed I had written down is that the sugar coating on our cells is like the sugar coating on a peanut M and M.

And people thought the sugar coating on our cells was like a protective coating that somehow made our cells stronger or tougher.

But we now know, many decades later, that it's much more complicated than that, and that the sugars on our cells are actually very complex.

And when I started thinking about all these complex sugars that are like this foliage on our cells, it became one of the most interesting problems that I encountered as a biologist and also as a chemist.

And so now we tend to think about the sugars that are populating the surface of our cells as a language.

So your blood cells, your red blood cells, are coated with sugars, and the chemical structures of those sugars determine your blood type.

But for those of you who share the blood type O with me, what this means is that we have this chemical structure on the surface of our blood cells: three simple sugars linked together to make a more complex sugar.

That means you have an enzyme in your cells that adds one more building block, that red sugar, to build a more complex structure.

What else are the sugars on the surface of your cells trying to tell us?

This is a kind of sugar that is actually found at certain levels on all of the cells in your body.

It's actually quite common on your cells.

But for some reason, cancer cells, at least in a successful, progressive disease, tend to have more sialic acid than a normal, healthy cell would have.

And so in this picture, those little green balls are your immune cells, and that big pink cell is a cancer cell.

And these immune cells go around and taste all the cells in your body.

And most of the time, the cells taste OK.

Hopefully, that's the cancer cell, and when those immune cells get the bad taste, they launch an all-out strike and kill those cells.

We also know that if you can potentiate that tasting, if you can encourage those immune cells to actually take a big old bite out of a cancer cell, you get a better job protecting yourself from cancer every day and maybe even curing a cancer.

And there's a protein on immune cells that grabs the sialic acid, and if that protein gets held at that synapse between the immune cell and the cancer cell, it puts that immune cell to sleep.
