Cancer Quotes
I know what cancer was. How is it like humankind?" Sek Hardeen's perfectly modulated, softly accented tones showed a hint of agitation. "We have spread out through the galaxy like cancer cells through a living body, Duré. We multiply without thought to the countless life forms that must die or be pushed aside so that we may breed and flourish. We eradicate competing forms of intelligent life.

Thinking Quotes
When the next generation of content is developed, we have to think in a totally different way. Think about it more symbolically. The main story that you see on the TV screen is maybe like the living room of a house. But there are various other rooms in this house that you will otherwise never see. But if you use the Internet, you find out what's in the attic. And if you use the cell phone, you find out what's on the first floor. And on another medium, you find out what's in the cellar.
-
Memories Quotes
The body remembers, the bones remember, the joints remember, even the little finger remembers. Memory is lodged in pictures and feelings in the cells themselves. Like a sponge filled with water, anywhere the flesh is pressed, wrung, even touched lightly, a memory may flow out in a stream.
-
Aging Quotes
While scientists have believed that aging is a disease in which cells stop dividing, this study suggests that aging is really a disease of quality control. In this case, the manufactured product is a new cell. As we get older, altered gene expression results in cells with diminished function.

Body Quotes
The reason you feel achy and sore when you catch a bug is because your body is fighting -- making extra cells -- so by us stimulating that response that's why you feel achy and sore for a few days. You won't get other flu-like symptoms. When you stop receiving the injections and after giving the cells, you feel normal again.

Benefits Quotes
No one supposed that dinoflagellates might actively kill fish as an evolved response for their own specific advantage, including a potential nutritional benefit for the algal cells. And yet the dinoflagellates do seem to be killing and eating fishes in a manner suggesting active evolution for this most peculiar reversal.
-
Analyzing Quotes
What's going on in biology, and is really very major, is we're understanding how really spectacular cells are at figuring things out, processing information, analyzing complicated situations and making good decisions about them. The research agenda, at least for the beginning of the 21st Century, is focusing on cells and organisms as very sophisticated and powerful processors of information.

Allow Quotes
Vitamin D's main role is to keep the balance of calcium and phosphorous in the blood, which helps keep bones strong. However, a lesser-known role is how it regulates cell growth and determines what a cell becomes. A vitamin D deficiency may allow cells to become cancerous rather than becoming healthy cells.

Advice Quotes
Every single cluster of stem cells has a different contraction rate--its own little rhythm. It's kind of a miracle of life when you can see these cells growing and differentiating before your very eyes. Gladstone scientists have provided key advice on all aspects of our stem cell program by speaking to our staff and our board, as well as the public.

Basic Quotes
Fertilization is a very basic cell interaction, a very important medical, economic and social interaction. And it's also a paradigm of how other cells interact, because every cell in our body is near or in close contact with other cells. And when those interactions break down you can get cancer and other diseases. So identifying these molecules could give us a better idea of the lock and key necessary for everyday functioning, not only in terms of preventing infertility but also for preventing disease.

Age And Aging Quotes
Females age 16 and under have immature cells of the cervix. These immature cervical cells are much more likely to be infected with HPV than the cervical cells of older women. And when a female age 16 and under is infected with HPV, the virus tends to cause more damage to the immature cervical cells.

Cell Quotes
The success of this procedure in no way precludes the need to pursue all forms of human embryonic stem cell research, ... Human embryonic stem cells are extraordinarily complicated. If we are ever to realize their therapeutic potential, we must use all known tools and techniques in order to explore the mechanisms that give these cells such startling characteristics.
-
Behind Quotes
The theory behind previous research is that people with higher education have a higher brain or cognitive reserve, maybe a larger number of brain cells or more efficient brain systems or networks. These people with higher education have more redundancy or reserve so they can cope if part of the brain is destroyed.
-
Brute Quotes
Right now, the techniques for gene therapy are kind of brute force. You put the gene in and hope it goes into the right place. There's no selection. What we would like to do is put the gene into stem cells, grow them and watch them to be as sure as one can be that we've got the right gene into the right cells and nothing untoward has happened.
-
Cancers Quotes
Dr. Alt's discoveries have led to a greater understanding of the ways that cancers of immune cells develop and they hold promise for finding ways to control or perhaps prevent these diseases. Dr. Alt's studies of the instability of the genome are central to our understanding of the events that lead to transformation of normal cells to cancer cells.

Among Quotes
It points to a growing interest among businesses in using fuel cells to power factories and buildings. The most compelling reason for GM to collaborate with Dow is ultimately to reduce the cost of fuel cells and improve their durability so that we may put them in cars by the end of the decade.
-
Alive Quotes
The adhesion of cells is very quick and far stronger than will be needed for most applications. We just let them incubate for 35 minutes, rinse, and we're ready to go. We've kept our cells alive on the chip for up to 25 hours and the same proportion of cells survive using our method as cells cultured under identical conditions.
-
Areas Quotes
It turns out that this part of the brain is one of the first areas that's attacked by Alzheimer's disease. So we can now use some of the basic understanding of this part of the brain to ask the simple question, 'What is going wrong with these special cells in the hippocampus at the very earliest stages?'

United States Quotes
They could have simply been told, 'Enter the United States, learn how to fly these types of planes,' ... They may not have known ultimately where this was headed or what the goal was. Then as that became necessary, they could have been in communication with other members of other cells who would have given them other directions.
