      They’re interesting to work with. If we can understand cells and how they interact with each other, we can build a better picture of how whole bodies work. They’re also easy to grow and mind in the lab (and relatively cheap). They can be easy to work with (my physics friends treat them as spheres of water) but are also massively complex (there’s so much to learn about them).
