How does something like a solar system compare with a body of organ system?

A solar system is a planetary system consisting of a star (such as the Sun) and its orbiting objects, like planets and moons. On the other hand, an organ system is a group of organs working together to perform specific functions in an organism, like the respiratory system or digestive system. While both systems involve multiple components working together, a solar system operates on a cosmic scale, while an organ system functions within an individual organism.

How are living things organized from cell to organism?

Cells communicate with each other and the outside world through a myriad of receptors located in its membrane. Particular cellular functions are determined not only by the expression of these receptors but also by the way they organize on the biological membrane both in space and time. Very little is known so far about how cells organize themselves, because this process occurs at a scale too small to be observed by conventional microscopes. The contribution made by the research group in this area has been to develop a simple and versatile platform that is used to create the so-called ligand patterns. The cells are then seeded over these patterns and, using a highly sensitive optical technique developed in the same group, researchers observe how natural receptors on the cell react to their counter-receptors placed in the pattern.
