Abstract:
A lot of directions of research (biological, computational, linguistic, semiotic, social, algebraic, technological etc) claim having as their object of investigation the functioning of the biological cell. However, in spite of their apparent common interest, each of them has its own jargon and its specific questions; moreover, the communication between them is very weak, if not totally absent. The culminating point of this scandal is the fact that each of the respective directions has its specific journals.
