Quotes About Cells

The more we understand what happens in living cells, the more incredibly powerful you realize things can be when they work from the bottom up, by interaction of one molecule and another.

As we turn from the galaxies to the swarming cells of our own being, which toil for something, some entity beyond their grasp, let us remember man, the self-fabricator who came across an ice age to look into the mirrors and magic of science. Surely he did not come to see himself or his wild visage only. He came because he is at heart a listener and a searcher for some transcendent realm beyond himself.

Time, the thing we can't beat back... Yet, time is also what it takes to heal, what it takes for certain memory cells to die. Maybe time doesn't heal. Maybe it doesn't even pass. We pass through time, and come out stunned, so rage, and memory, are blurred.

A Drunkard I've never been an individual entity. Sixty trillion cells! I'm a living collectivity. I'm staggering zigzag along, sixty trillion cells, all drunk.

One night, Tess finds me sobbing during the health segment of the evening news. Scientists have discovered scarred cells from cardiac arrest fall away over time, and she can't understand how sadly hopeful that is. To me, it means that the human heart has the capacity to heal itself.

And stop whispering into my hair. You might chip a tooth, I've got so much crap sprayed in there." "I know," he whispered, sending a shiver down her side. "You smell like ethanol. I can feel my brain cells dying.

Alcohol kills brain cells. We take the only organ in our body that won't grow back, and we kill it for fun.

Macronutrients and Micronutrients: Macros come in three forms: protein, fat, and carbohydrates. And they all have different functions. Protein, for example, serves as the building blocks for our cells, while carbs and fat are used as energy (albeit in different ways). Micronutrients are vitamins, minerals, and compounds found in food that also have effects on the body, namely in terms of promoting good health and strong systems at the cellular level.

Life is not governed by will or intention. Life is a question of nerves, and fibers, and slowly built-up cells in which thought hides itself, and passion has its dreams.

Through their work with fetal tissue, researchers hope to find ways to harness embryonic stem cells which have the ability to become any type of human cell and could provide new treatments for many illnesses.

Understanding how Cas9 is able to locate specific 20-base-pair target sequences within genomes that are millions to billions of base pairs long may enable improvements to gene targeting and genome editing efforts in bacteria and other types of cells.

The ideal way to study the property of different types of neurons is to control individual types of cells independently and see what happens when you alter one type of cell. Optogenetics helps to realize this goal.

Brain cells are normally not sensitive to light. So by introducing light-sensitive proteins into specific types of neurons, we can now selectively control that specific type of neuron by shining light in the brain.

Nitric oxide production by immune cells is one of the key mechanisms that our bodies use to destroy diseased cells. Enhancement of these types of immune responses is seen consistently with many medicinal mushrooms that have been tested by cancer researchers.

Basically, when you look at different types of cells, such as fibroblasts, which form connective tissue, or epithelial cells, from saliva, you see general correlations within a person. If telomeres are up for one cell type, they're up for others overall.

Mammalian cells of all types disgorge prostaglandins at the slightest provocation, but the tissue content of prostaglandins is very low compared with the release.

There are over 7,000 different types of proteins in typical eukaryotic cells; the total number depends on the cell class and function.

In my second year, after moving to the Medical School, I began the courses of Anatomy and Physiology. I had begun to see that I was interested in cells and their functions.

Doctors explain that the cardiac cells are "auto-rhythmic" cells. They actually vibrate and beat together instinctively at the same tempo—before they ever unite with each other and function as the heart!

Obesity, according to common wisdom, points to a high-fat diet. But fat consumption, whether saturated or unsaturated, causes no release of insulin. There's no possibility of storing fat in fat cells unless insulin opens the receptors, and only eating sugar can make that happen. That's why Type I diabetics who have no insulin die emaciated. Obesity is simply a different symptom of the same syndrome that causes everything else that plagues modern man.

human red blood cells have no nuclei and thus possess no DNA of their own.

Like many insects, flies are most sensitive to green light. This means that they would see their world as 'black and white,' in that they can't see the multiple colors required to reconstruct a color image of the world. They do, however, have specialized cells that enable them to see ultraviolet wavelengths.

The body and dendrites of a nerve cell are specialized for the reception and integration of information which is conveyed as impulses that are fired from other nerve cells along their axons.

I'm an advocate for a full spectrum of energy policy, but we're never going to get there with solar cells that are going to power this country.
