Oh man. I hate that poofing shit. You scared me so bad, Ash, you made me eat this crappy cheese. What is this stuff anyway? (Nick) Soy cheese. (Talon) So much for my dinner. Now his whole system is polluted. Be at least a week before it leaves his cell tissue and he's edible again. (Fang)
~ Sherrilyn Kenyon
This fertilized ovum, known as a zygote, is a large diploid cell that is the beginning, or primordium, of a human being.
~ Keith L. Moore
The intracellular fluid differs significantly from the extracellular fluid; for example, it contains large amounts of potassium, magnesium, and phosphate ions instead of the sodium and chloride ions found in the extracellular fluid.
~ John E. Hall
The cell contains highly organized physical structures, called intracellular organelles.
~ John E. Hall
This will never serve," he said, casting a disdainful eye over the cell. "I will not have your breath at risk." "My lord-" "Peace, Will." The Earl drew himself up to his full, slight height as if the gesture pained him. "Thou'rt here for thine own protection.
~ Elizabeth Bear
Telomeres, which shorten with each cell division, help determine how fast your cells age and when they die, depending on how quickly they wear down.
~ Elizabeth Blackburn
Put him in there and chain him up," he ordered curtly. "Yes, that chain, you fool - do you see any other chain in that cell? Peaceable Sherwood? I'm tired of hearing about Peaceable Sherwood! Turn him loose in the cell for the night. - Which one of you said 'Where'll he be by morning?' Where does he look like he's going to be by morning, I ask you - a hundred and fifty miles away?" I was, to be exact, only seven and a half miles away by morning...
~ Elizabeth Marie Pope
The DNA-encoded catalytic machinery of the cell can rapidly learn to promote new chemical reactions when we provide new reagents and the appropriate incentive in the form of artificial selection.
~ Frances Arnold
There is a duality in recognising what an incredible disease it is - in terms of its origin, that it emerges out of a normal cell. It's a reminder of what a wonderful thing a normal cell is. In a very cold, scientific sense, I think a cancer cell is a kind of biological marvel.
~ Siddhartha Mukherjee
As biologists, we contemplate with admiration and awe the wondrous array of sophisticated cell interactions and recognitions evolved in the T cell immune system, which must be a model for other similarly complex biological systems of highly differentiated organisms.
~ Baruj Benacerraf
But in this case, he had my cell phone and my phone was ringing and I had just come back from Australia on the plane and I thought it was my mum and it was Woody Allen just checking to see if I wanted to be in his movie.
~ Radha Mitchell
In essence, we're imaging the same cell for anywhere from forty to a hundred thousand times to create one of the movies that we see.
~ Eric Betzig
I became aware of the very complex internal organization in a cell from the basic science classes, and it made me think about how all that could work. It seemed like a great mystery, especially how organelles in the cell can be arranged in three dimensions, and how thousands of proteins could find their way to the right location in the cells.
~ James Rothman
I've always hated biology who cares how a cell divides, it just does
~ Sara Shepard
The inner chambers of the soul are like the photographer's darkroom. Like a laboratory. One cannot stay there all the time or it becomes the solitary cell of the neurotic.
~ Anais Nin
And we the people are so vulnerable. Our bodies are shot with mortality. Our legs are fear and our arms are time. These chill humors seep through our capillaries, weighting each cell with an icy dab of nonbeing, and that dab grows and swells and sucks the cell dry. That is why physical courage is so important—it fills, as it were, the holes—and why it is so invigorating. The least brave act, chance taken and passage won, makes you feel loud as a child.
~ Annie Dillard
Well, sir, it has come through on the pipes that a consignment of cocaine has arrived by irregular means and that a cell somewhere along Tier 5 is to be the centre of distribution.' I made all that up as I went along, like I made up so many of these stories, but the prison charlie was very grateful, saying: 'Good, good, good. I shall pass that on to Himself,' this being what he called the Governor
~ Anthony Burgess
Not all living creatures die. An amoeba, for example, need never die; it need not even, like certain generals, fade away. It just divides and becomes two new amoebas.
~ George Wald
There are many alternatives to embryonic stem cell research, alternatives with great potential. We need to support these and oppose creating life for the sole purpose of destroying it.
~ Ernest Istook
Life is a journey of a cell enjoying the beauty of this universe.
~ Debasish Mridha
As a cell contains a natural intelligence by which it fosters the healthy functioning of the body, I, too, have natural intelligence that fosters the perfect unfolding of my life.
~ Marianne Williamson
The linear size of a neuron varies widely from one nerve cell to the other, since some of these cells are contained in closely integrated large aggregates and have, therefore, very short axons, while others conduct pulses between rather remote parts of the body and may, therefore, have linear extensions comparable to those of the entire human body.
~ John von Neumann
To defy heredity is to defy billions of years, to defy the first cell.
~ Emil M. Cioran
