A Biologist's Maverick Theory Likens Cell Form to Fuller's Geodesic Domes.

His theory that the internal structure of cells, the cytoskeleton, resembles that of a geodesic dome; Similarity of a cell's fibers to the rods of a dome in terms of how they push and pull off each other; Possibility that scientists will be able to control cell growth and protein production by pushing or prodding the cells; Comments from colleagues.
