Cells Quotes - BrainyQuote

For scientists, growing cells took so much work that they couldn't get much research done. So the selling of cells was really just for the sake of science, and there weren't a lot of profits. Rebecca Skloot

The laws are still very unclear. Cells are still taken from people without consent - a lot of people don't realize it. Rebecca Skloot

People, Realize, Without, Laws, Consent

For a very long time, we've been extraordinarily interested in the interaction between low temperature and low oxygen. We see that they're connected because we know people who are extremely cold are not getting oxygen to their cells. And yet, they're sometimes alive. Mark Roth

I may be the only person in the world who has my own embryonic cells growing in a petri dish. Peter Nygard

I started stem cells when I wanted to find a cure for my mother, who I loved very much, and western medicine was not able to cure her. If I had discovered stem cells a year before, I think that she would still be here with me. Peter Nygard

The number of cells in our bodies is defined by an equilibrium of opposing forces: mitosis adds cells, while programmed cell death removes them. Just as too much cell division can lead to a pathological increase in cell number, so can too little cell death. H. Robert Horvitz

Death, Too Much, Lead, Division, Number

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. Feng Zhang

Control, Goal, You, Realize, Way, See

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. Feng Zhang

Light, Brain, Control, Now, Sensitive

What if I told you every single person in America - every single person on Earth - is African? With a small scrape of cells from the inside of anyone's cheek, the science of genetics can even prove it. Spencer Wells

Activating oxygen can produce compounds called radicals that put oxidative stress on cells. Such stress could ultimately lead to cancer and other diseases. John Simon

Stress, Cancer, Lead, Oxygen, Other, Put

If you asked me what caused aging, I would say free radicals and molecules, which spontaneously shift and form and cause damage in all our cells and genes. The body usually repairs and replaces the damage in these genes. But as you get older, the aging clock turns down those defenses. Michael Fossel

Me, Free, Aging, Body, You, Clock

I have always been interested - indeed, waylaid - by the leading edges of technology, even during my Ph.D. years when I pioneered (but did not publish) agarose gel electrophoresis for RNA fractionation. Also, much later, I was instrumental in showing that Green Fluorescent Protein and RNAi could be made to work in mammalian cells. Martin Evans

Work, Technology, Green, Always, Years

In 1880 at the Military Hospital at Constantine, I discovered, on the edges of the pigmented spherical bodies in the blood of a patient suffering from malaria, filiform elements resembling flagellae which were moving very rapidly, displacing the neighbouring red cells. Charles Louis Alphonse Laveran

I've always drawn, for example, and I did consider when I was younger, it was either do I become an actor or do I become an animator cartoonist at that point. Do I work at Disneyworld or something and do animated cells or something? David Hornsby

Work, Always, Become, Actor, Point

It's not even known how many kinds of cells there are in the brain. If you were looking for a periodic table of the brain, there is no such thing. I really like to think of the brain as a computer. Edward Boyden

Brain, Think, Looking, You, Table, Like

Fuel cells create a better automobile that's 50 percent more energy-efficient overall and sustainable from energy and safety perspectives. Larry Burns

Safety, Energy, Better, Create, More

We have found that morals are not, like bacon, to be cured by hanging; nor, like wine, to be improved by sea voyages; nor, like honey, to be preserved in cells. William Taylor

Sea, Wine, Honey, Morals, Hanging, Like

On some peculiar pigmented cells found in two mosquitoes fed on malarial. Ronald Ross

Two, Some, Found, Fed, Peculiar

In nerve-free multicellular organisms, the relationships of the cells to each other can only be of a chemical nature. In multicellular organisms with nerve systems, the nerve cells only represent cells like any others, but they have extensions suited to the purpose which they serve, namely the nerves. Otto Loewi
