Cells Quotations | Page 4

It is undeniable that we all create scenarios and then become convinced by them, down to our very cells.

The idea of prosthetics is a tool. Most peoples cell phones are prosthetics. If you leave your cell phone at home, you feel impacted by not having it. Its an important part of your daily function and what you can do in a day.

The American people overwhelmingly want our troops out of Iraq. They want the federal government to take real and immediate action to combat global warming and to significantly expand support for stem cell research. Democrats almost unanimously support the people's wishes onthese crucial issues. Republicans don't.

Within the brain's most secret cells, A certain lord chief justice dwells, Of sov'reign power, whom one and all, With common voice we reason call.

And yet in a funny way our lack of success led to our breakthrough; because, since we could not get a cell line off the shelf doing what we wanted, we were forced to construct it. And the original experiment ... developed into a method for the production of hybridomas ... [which] was of more importance than our original purpose.

One metaphor for how we are living is that you see so may people with cell phones. In restaurants, walking, they have cell phones clamped to their to heads. When they are on their cell phones they are not where their bodies are...they are somewhere else in hyperspace. They are not grounded. We have become disembodied. By being always somewhere else we are nowhere.

We have Borna virus genes. We're part Borna virus, which is weird, but apparently our cells and our genomes in a weird way might actually be grabbing these viruses, grabbing genetic material from the viruses that are infecting it and pulling them into their own genome.

Borna virus is not a retrovirus. It doesn't actually insert its own genes into our cells. What it does is just hangs out near our DNA and uses some of the molecular machinery to copy itself.

It is easy to make out three areas where scientists will be concentrating their efforts in the coming decades. One is in physics, where leading theorists are striving, with the help of experimentalists, to devise a single mathematical theory that embraces all the basic phenomena of matter and energy. The other two are in biology. Biologists-and the rest of us too-would like to know how the brain works and how a single cell, the fertilized egg cell, develops into an entire organism

Okay well - no that is a very real thing seven-year-olds asking for BlackBerrys and cell phones and things like that. And that's one of the things I love most about the show is the social satire.

We presently have the technology ... fuel cells, solar cells, hydrogen ... the opportunities are amazing for clean energy.

The initiation of the fermentation process does not require so complicated an apparatus as is represented by the living cell. The agent responsible for the fermenting action of the press juice is rather to be regarded as a dissolved substance, doubtless a protein; this will be denoted zymase.

Knowing what makes these cells tick may help by furthering our knowledge of the biology of the tumor.

FTIs, originally developed for cancer, are capable of reversing the dramatic nuclear structure abnormalities that are the hallmark of cells from children with progeria,

Fuel cells and the hydrogen economy are absolutely the next great race for industry.

I envision devices that detect disease much earlier than conventional detection methods. It could eventually be possible to initiate treatment at this very early stage using implanted devices that communicate with cells at the molecular level.

I apologize for creating this uproar both in and out of Korea. The fact remains that our research team was successful in creating stem cells from patients' skin cells. Still, there were mistakes made, human errors, in taking photographs and in the preservation of the stem cells.

Cells become stuck in the process of cell division.

Cells will die in minutes to days if they lack their genetic information system. They will not evolve, they will not replicate, and they will not live.

I have strong moral objections to creating human organisms in order to harvest cells from them in a way that destroys them. But those objections simply would not apply to proposals that would not in fact involve human organisms.

Hydrogen fuel cells have already been developed to power cars. Last week I had the opportunity to drive a hydrogen-powered car built by Honda.

Hydrogen fuel cells will play a key role in a clean energy future, but the president's plan won't get us there,

The purpose of this agreement is to focus on advanced and emerging technologies. Fuel cells had been our focus for the last 7 years.

the people, the cells and the clues supporting this incident to bring them to justice.

hellish days in the cells of the police.

We report for the first time the ability to monitor single immune cells in a live animal using MRI. This could revolutionize the management of transplant patients.

We reproduced the observations from humans in animals in order to identify the mechanism for the hyperbaric oxygen effect. We found that hyperbaric oxygen mobilizes stem/progenitor cells because it increases synthesis of a molecule called nitric oxide in the bone marrow. This synthesis is thought to trigger enzymes that mediate stem/progenitor cell release.

Like other cells in the body, human sperm carry a receptor for nicotine, which means they recognize and respond to nicotine.

Like we handle antibodies against foreign proteins and we only get viruses like measles and chicken pox once, you can form antibodies against hundreds of things on the cells, ... The future is going tobe the development of those targeted therapies so that we will evaluate cancer cells in a much different way. We will do enzyme profiles and protein profiles to come up with almost a blueprint of the cancer and pick and choose those things that are available.

Massive amounts can lead to the disorder of blood cells ? in other words, leukemia,

Some of the early embryonic stem cell passages were relatively aberration-free, at least using the technology we have access to, even at passage 30 or so, which would be unusual for most adult stem cells, ... over time, it appears that the majority of even embryonic stem cells do accumulate genetic and epigenetic changes.

Stem cells hold great promise for human therapy. In an optimal world, we would make stem cells genetically matched to a patient.

Stem cells with DNA matching with patient tissues regarding the 2005 paper were not found. And it is the panel's judgment that Professor Hwang 's team does not have the scientific data to prove that they (patient-specific stem cells) were made.

Recent work using neural stem cells has indicated that stem cell transplantation to the injured spinal cord may help recovery, so ... this is really occurring at a very encouraging time and we hope that these particular stem cells will also make a contribution,

Previously we've had just the two cells down there and for a population of this size those two cells are going to be inadequate.

People have used the argument-not a scientific argument but a political argument-that we don't need to do human embryonic stem cell research because, after all, mature or adult stem cells will do everything. Doug's paper says that's not exactly correct.

Just as DNA chips revolutionized genome analysis, we hope to make cell chips (self-assembled arrays of cells on a thumbnail-sized chip) using our DNA-based cell adhesion strategy. Cell chips could be used as biosensors for detecting the presence of pathogens, or for drug screening, just to name of a few of the many possibilities.

It'd be interesting to see if in fact the United States really is closing in on him. I wouldn't be surprised. It looks to me like some of the cells surrounding him and protecting him may be breaking down.

It does also remain possible that there are other cells who are capable and intent on striking again.

It allows people to give twice as many red blood cells in one donation. The procedure is a real advancement in the blood collection process.

It is an ingenious mechanism that the virus uses by having this big burst of expansion and the cells respond,

Our research team made patient-specific embryonic stem cells and we have the technology to produce them.

Our results suggest that adeno-associated virus type 2, which infects the majority of the population but has no known ill effects, kills multiple types of cancer cells yet has no effect on healthy cells.

Our findings demonstrate that RAC GTPase proteins are essential for injected stem cells to migrate into the correct location in the bone marrow.

I think it was misleading not to tell participants that that this drug was genetically engineered from hamster cells and that it was designed to alter their immune system. Reasonable people would think twice before allowing an experimental drug to change their immune system.

It happens every year about this time. I'm sure the cells are there now.

I think in our lifetime there is a probability that one of these weapons is going to go off in New York or Washington or some big city like that. The CIA needs to be doing everything it possibly can to penetrate terrorist cells and outlaw states.

We now can visualize non-invasively and with sensitivity individual cells and their movement to targeted sites. Our new approach offers almost unlimited potential for monitoring cell therapies, such as those using stem cells, and for tracking cellular and developmental processes.

We could have made tremendous progress in getting these cells toward clinical application if federal funding had been available.

The actual cells that we transplanted, the human cells, are the ones that are making myelin. We're extremely excited about these cells.

We know the terrorists cells are still active, they are still hiding, recruiting, networking, trying to find new funding and even planning for another strike.

There are no terrorists' cells actively operating in Malaysia as far as the government is concerned,

Micro fuel cells are years away from commercial deployment, but considerable R&D is underway funded in part by the military to power portable communications equipment in the field.

We're close to being able to put our arms around the whole cancer problem. We've completed the list of all cancer cells needed to create a malignancy. And I wouldn't have said that five years ago.

We really and truly expect that fuel cells are going to double the fuel efficiency of the best internal combustion engines and in some cases triple it.

We can pattern a surface with single-stranded DNA containing a specific nucleotide sequence, then coat cells with single-stranded DNA that contains a complementary sequence.

We hope that kind of experience will stay a little longer and get those brain cells working a little bit to analyze and look at the world more critically.

We hope that ultimately solar energy can be extensively used in the commercial sector as well as the private sector. Imagine solar cells installed in cars to absorb solar energy to replace the traditional use of diesel and gas. People will vie to park their cars on the top level of parking garages so their cars can be charged under sunlight. Using the same principle, cell phones can also be charged by solar energy. There are such a wide variety of applications.

We've known all along that the cells that are placed across the world, those who fund those cells believe that we are the enemy.

We're already talking with the bio-technology and bio-pharmaceutical companies about taking these cells into screening systems for new drugs. Hopefully that will come to pass within two to three years.

Disassemble the cells of a sponge (by passing them through a sieve, for instance), then dump them into a solution, and they will find their way back together and build themselves into a sponge again. You can do this to them over and over, and they will doggedly reassemble because, like you and me and every other living thing, they have one overwhelming impulse: to continue to be.

The panel couldn't find stem cells that match patients' DNA . . . and it believes that Hwang's team doesn't have scientific data to prove that (such stem cells) were made.

The panel couldn't find stem cells that match patients' DNA regarding the 2005 paper, and it believes that Hwang's team doesn't have scientific data to prove that (such stem cells) were made.

We set out to find whether these cells would be able to respond to the injury in an appropriate and beneficial way on their own, ... We were excited to find that the cells responded to the damage by making appropriate new cells that could assist in repair. This study supports the possibility that formation of new myelin and new neurons may contribute to recovery.

As I get older and I get more of this dialogue and I lose more and more brain cells, it really does become the most difficult part of the job!

There are some immediate experiments to see if we can use the same cocktails of growth factors to expand cord blood cells or human stem cells.

What we learn in studying fertilization is not only important for this event, but also for the functioning of other cells in our bodies and for understanding many of those processes.

We held hands and it took about an hour and a half for his blood to enter my system. His blood cells that carry the immune system found their way into my body.

The theologians have recognized that the ideal is the imitation of God. If we be a part of such an organic thing, this thing is God to us, as I am God to the cells that compose me.

The mind is the seat of perception of the things we see, hear, and feel. It is through the mind that we see the beauties of the earth and sky, or music, of art, in fact, of everything. That silent shuttle of thought working in and out through cell and nerve weaves into one harmonious whole the myriad moods of mind, and we call it life.

At 25, you've got millions of brain cells to kill.

You can kind of judge how old a film is by the size of the cell phones.

You'll lose about two million brain cells every minute that goes by.

When we talk about computer network exploitation, computer network attack, we're not just talking about your home PC. We're talking about your cell phone, and we're also talking about internet routers themselves. The NSA is attacking the critical infrastructure of the internet to try to take ownership of it. They hack the routers that connect nations to the internet itself.

It is possible to state as a general principle that the mesodermic phagocytes, which originally (as in the sponges of our days) acted as digestive cells, retained their role to absorb the dead or weakened parts of the organism as much as different foreign intruders.

The unchecked striving for more, for endless growth, is a dysfunction and a disease. It is the same dysfunction the cancerous cell manifests, whose only goal is to multiply itself, unaware that it is bringing about its own destruction by destroying the organism of which it is a part.

There is no doubt that we produced 11 patient-specific stem cells and possess the core technology to create them again.

I can't stand cell phones and I don't know one single thing about the computer. I have a friend come that lives in my building to check if I have emails. I don't even know what to google.

I would rather be free in my mind, and be locked up in a prison cell, than to be a coward and not be able to say what I want.

We have always underestimated the cell...The entire cell can be viewed as a factory that contains an elaborate network of interlocking assembly lines, each of which is composed of a set of large protein machines...Why do we call [them] machines? Precisely because, like machines invented by humans to deal efficiently with the macroscopic world, these protein assemblies contain highly coordinated moving parts.

Two places in this world make it impossible for a man to escape from himself: a battlefield and a prison cell.

My contemplation of life and human nature in that secluded place [cell 54 of Cairo Central Prison] taught me that he who cannot change the very fabric of his thought will never, therefore, make any progress.

There is just no sensible, logical reason why we would not make use of stem cell research.

I don't have a cell phone (though for years I've kept saying, "soon").

Sex can no longer be the germ, the seed of fiction. Sex is an episode, most properly conveyed in an episodic manner, quickly, often ironically. It is a bursting forth of only one of the cells in the body of the omnipotent I, the one who hopes by concentration of tone and voice to utter the sound of reality.

I have a Ph.D. in cell biology. And that's really manual labor. I mean, experimental science, you do it with your hands. So it's very different. You're out there in a lab, cleaning test tubes, and it just wasn't that fascinating.

if you search the bible, you will find no reference to birth control or gay marriage, and you will not find a word, strangely, about stem cell research. I have searched.

Every cell in your body is totally aware of how you think and feel about yourself.

Any cell, tissue, or organ is capable of crying for attention, and when you give it some, the healing process begins.

At the very instant that you think, "I am happy," a chemical messenger translates your emotion, which has no solid existence whatever in the material world, into a bit of matter so perfectly attuned to your desire that literally every cell in your body learns of your happiness and joins in.

To promote the healing response, you must get past all the grosser levels of the body - cells, tissues, organs and systems -- and arrive at a junction point between mind and matter, the point where consciousness actually starts to have an effect.

Every cell is eavesdropping on your internal dialogue.

Quantum physics has found that there is no empty space in the human cell, but it is a teeming, electric-magnet ic field of possibility or potential

A prison cell, in which one waits, hopes...and is completely dependent on the fact that the door of freedom has to be opened from the outside, is not a bad picture of Advent.

There is a newly coined word in the English language for the moment when the person we're with whips out their BlackBerry or answers that cell phone, and all of a sudden we don't exist. The word is 'pizzled': it's a combination of puzzled and pissed off.

There are thousands of proteins in the cells, some of them very large chains of molecules. And the cell doesn't function if one of those chains of molecules isn't there, and you start looking at the complexity of life and the mystery of life, and then start thinking about things like the twenty universal constants, that if any one of them from Plank's minimum to the mass of a proton, if one of them is the tiniest bit off, there would be no life or possibility of it in the universe.

What popped up more than that was the realization that I made as an adult that the world is this incredibly complex, layered, and mysterious place and if you stop and think about it the human cell is literally more complex than a fleet of 747s.

There is a furnace in our cells, and when we breathe we pass the world through our bodies, brew it lightly, and turn it loose again, gently altered for having known us.

Well, well, my dear fellow, be it so. We have shared this same room for some years, and it would be amusing if we ended by sharing the same cell. (...)

For all healing, mental or material, is attuning each atom of the body, each reflex of the brain forces, to the awareness of the divine that lies within each atom, each cell of the body.
