Antifungals have the problem that many of their targets are shared between eukaryotic fungal cells and our own.

And the only reason they use bacteria is because they would be completely lost with an Eukaryotic cell.

The major thing that saves us with them is that their significant low level differences from eukaryotic cells, e.g.

At high enough concentrations, you are going to wipe out many eukaryotic cells (cancer or not).

Another argument is that less complex life evolves more slowly - and the eukaryotic cell developed at about the expected time.

There are inventions in biology too, like the appearance of photosynthesis or eukaryotic cell structures.

In comparison to complex eukaryotic cells, the mitochondria have been see as relatively low-hanging fruit in terms of systems-level modelling (e.g.

Its even worse for fungal infections, as fungi are eukaryotic and thus share a alarming number of potential drug targets with human cells.

A reversion of eukaryotic mature (mouse) cells into ones that can differentiate would be astounding, and likely have many implications relevant to us humans.

Besides, even eukaryotic DNA doesn't spend all its time as chromatin.

By the same notion, it's not considered artificial life when a new custom chromosome (called a plasmid) is inserted into a bacteria or eukaryotic cell.

Once the eukaryotic cell developed, multicellularity has evolved several times.

So much of eukaryotic cellular activity seems energetically "wasteful," yet cells just don't seem to care.

"Power, Sex, and Suicide" argues that eukaryotic (and thus multicellular) life is basically a fluke—it is the great filter.

Eukaryotic ribosomes are around 2500 kDa, but even they are completely invisible at 20 nm wide, and there are a thousands-millions of them per cell.
