Quotes About Cells

In adults, the only areas producing blood cells are the pelvis, spine, ribs, cranium, and proximal ends of long bones.

Be content not with your lot in life but with being here in the flow of life. The glories of creation are in your very cells; you are made of the same mindstuff as the angels, the stars, and god himself.

By looking at the behavior of the cells in our own body, we can observe the most extraordinary and efficient expression of The Seven Spiritual Laws. This is the genius of nature's intelligence. These are the thoughts of God - the rest are details.

What people had been calling a "gut reaction" turned out to be a mere hint of the complex intelligence at work in a hundred thousand billion cells. In a sweeping medical revolution, scientists have

Todas las experiencias se convierten en una señal química codificada que alterará la vida de tus células, ya sea mucho o poco, durante unos minutos o durante varios años.

A heart or liver cell doesn't think in words and sentences, but it sends and receives complex chemical messages all the time. The bloodstream, along with the central nervous system, is an information superhighway teeming with traffic as 50 trillion cells contribute to a united goal: remaining alive, healthy, and thriving. Below is how the pathways of the information superhighway actually look.

verás que las células viejas son como mapas de la experiencia de una persona

The Brute was the biggest prison block in Coldheart. It had eighteen tiers of cells arranged around a wide-open space. Hanging over that space was the security hub/control room, a large, windowed cube that dangled on thick chains, accessible only via retractable walkways. Far beneath it, level with the block's second tier, was a large dais that hovered in place – no chains, ropes or struts necessary. Two tiers beneath that, a lake of energy rippled over the floor.

The knowledge we have of communication among cells does not permit my giving you a sophisticated understanding.

most expensive in the body, second only to the heart. Neurons may be small, but they're costly to make and maintain, consuming about ten times more energy relative to their size than other cells.

I breathed enough to learn the trick, And now, removed from air, I simulate the breath so well, That one, to be quite sure The lungs are stirless, must descend Among the cunning cells, And touch the pantomime himself. How cool the bellows feels!

I'd love to watch TV all the time, but it rots our brains. Before I came down from Heaven Ma left it on all day long and got turned into a zombie that's like a ghost but walks 'thump thump.' So now she always switches off after one show, then the cells multiply again in the day and we can watch another show after dinner and grow more brains in our sleep.

Because living cells are programmable like computers, they could eventually be engineered to make just about anything. Potential uses include manufacturing plastics, creating plants that can detect chemical munitions by changing color, and even designing bioweapons that target individuals on the basis of their DNA.12 Here, too, Chinese military leaders have made innovation a top priority, calling biotech the new "strategic commanding heights" of national defense.

It was a random chance meeting of one particular sperm from a crowd and one particular egg from whichever ones popped out of the party room to look for adventure. It was hope that things would develop to the point where there was a real human being in there, and not just a collection of cells, and some more hope that the whole thing would coalesce and cook until done, and pop out pissed off and viable and ready to keep growing.

The trillions of microorganisms we harbor in our bodies, collectively known as our microbiome, outnumber human cells 10 to 1.

We are inhabited by as many as ten thousand bacterial species; these cells outnumber those which we consider our own by ten to one, and weigh, all told, about three pounds - the same as our brain.

We're scientists; we're curious about how nature works, but we're also do-gooders. It's fantastic to think that the same experiments we'd do to understand how information gets into cells could have a practical side to them, too.

The medical nanobots in my novel 'Small Miracles' tap the energy sources that the patient's own body provides. That is, they can metabolize glycerol and glucose, just as the cells in our bodies do.

Al Qaeda has significance beyond its numbers, frankly. And so for us, our 24-hour-a-day objective is to seek out those al Qaeda cells. And, as we seek them out, to target them and eliminate them. And we're doing that 24 hours a day.

Yes, we are looking into gene therapies for immune cells to target senescent cells.

When you bring telomerase RNA levels down by using a mechanism that targets the RNA for destruction, the cells which were running on very high telomerase levels are now running on a lean diet of telomerase.

We live at a certain level of abstraction; we interact as bodies, not cell colonies.

In a reductionist view, understanding something complex requires breaking it down into its components; understand those parts, add them together, and you'll understand the big picture. And in this reductionist world, to understand cells, organs, bodies, and behavior, the best constituent part to study is genes.

That's the way it is. The intelligence of the mind can't think of any reason to live, but it goes on anyway because the intelligence of the cells can't think of any reason to die
