Quotes About Cells

Mind to matter is not an abstract metaphysical proposition. It is a physical fact, as material as the bodies we live in. Thought by thought, moment by moment, our minds are creating the energy fields in which our cells reproduce. Positive thoughts provide our cells with an energy culture in which they thrive.

Burr's huge insight was that fields weren't just produced by living organisms, but that fields created matter, providing lines of force around which matter could arrange itself into atoms, molecules, and cells.

When every one of those 810,000 new cells that your body creates each second is born in an energetic environment of kindness and love, it shapes their development.

He also reviewed research showing that the energy fields of a healer's hands can change how fast cellular enzymes catalyze and, in red blood corpuscles, increase the content of hemoglobin, the compound that carries oxygen to our cells.

When those 810,000 cells that are being formed every second are birthed in an energy field of love and kindness, their gene expression is regulated by that field.

Along with it, your gene expression shifts. When those 810,000 cells that are being formed every second are birthed in an energy field of love and kindness, their gene expression is regulated by that field.

Calcification At a certain point in the cartilage's development (and this moment is different for different bones in the body), the chondroblast cells, which have been secreting cartilage, undergo a physical and functional change. They expand in size, stop producing cartilage, and begin to secrete the chemicals which precipitate into crystals the dissolved mineral salts delivered by the blood.

Dad was a writer down to his cells, and he loved metaphors. Everything was a metaphor. Your dirty laundry could be one. Unexpected encounters with dog shit, definitely.

I think, therefore a single fertilized egg cell can replicate itself into trillions of specialized and exquisitely organized cells.

I understand that he is made up of working cells, just like me--crowded and confused pieces of genius that have been tampered with and now, wounded, go along in the way that they are able.

And he looked at the oil out of coffee beans, and at frogspawn, and, and anyway now we know what microbes are and what cells are and that the naked human eye can only see a fraction of what is actually there. And that this - (the spill of water on the table) – is full of life we can't see, and just because we can't see it doesn't mean it isn't. It really really is.

Talvez tenhamos um acesso potencial a toda história arquivada nas próprias células do nosso ser psicossomático. Se assim é, devemos agradecer ao ego por nos proteger do que está além do que podemos suportar em qualquer dado momento.

The possibility that lysosomes might accidentally become ruptured under certain conditions, and kill or injure their host-cells as a result, was considered right after we got our first clues to the existence of these particles.

Lectins are like little barnacles that look for specific sugar molecules in our blood, the lining of our gut, and on our nerves. When they find a good spot to land, they cling to those cells, breaking down their ability to communicate with our immune systems.

Water is commonly regarded as the 'solvent of life,' since our bodies are 70% water. All other vertebrates, invertebrates, microbes, and plants are also primarily water. The organization of water within biological compartments is fundamental to life, and the aquaporins serve as the plumbing systems for cells.

A battery by definition is a collection of cells. So the cell is a little can of chemicals. And the challenge is taking a very high-energy cell, and a large number of them, and combining them safely into a large battery.

The most important surviving relics of the primitive plants are mosses and ferns, which give us a clue to how ancient plants solved the problem of reproduction. They developed spores, or microscopic cells, which fell into the water, germinated, and formed male and female sex organisms that combined to create a new plant. Spores

Once the cells in a biological machine stop working, it can never be started again. It goes into a cascade of decay, falling toward disorder and randomness. Except in the case of viruses. They can turn off and go dead. Then, if they come in contact with a living system, they switch on and multiply. (194)

There are more atoms than molecules, but a molecule is more complex than an atom. There are more molecules than cells, but a cell is more complex than a molecule. And so on up the hierarchy it goes, with increasingly complex levels of organization at each higher level.

Your body is made up of around seventy-five trillion cells, every one of those cells containing hundreds of thousands of molecules with six feet of DNA in every cell containing over three billion letters of coding. These cells are a potent blend of matter and memory—bones and hair and blood and teeth and at the same time personality and essence and predispositions and habits.

This death-and-life mystery, this mechanism, this process is built into the very fabric of creation. The cells in our bodies are dying at a rate of millions a second, only to be replaced at a similar rate of millions a second. Our skin is constantly flaking off and our body is continually replacing the skin cells with new ones; we have entirely new skin every week or so.

Mingling frames from the broodnest with frames from honey supers also causes problems. The material in the cells and the bees walking on this darkened wax will darken the honey stored in the combs and add bits and flavors of what was there before, reducing the pristine quality of the honey you want to harvest. The bottom line: Don't mix frames used for honey with frames used for brood.

our cells contain an epigenome that tells genes to switch on or off.

White blood cells are the only fully functional cells in the circulation. Red blood cells have lost their nuclei by the time they enter the bloodstream, and platelets, which also lack a nucleus, are cell fragments that have split off a relatively large parent cell known as a megakaryocyte {mega, extremely large + karyon, kernel + -cyte, cell}.
