Famous Quotes & Sayings

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

Eliot Engel

I wholeheartedly support umbilical stem cell research, but also support embryonic stem cell research.

Eliot Engel

Adult stem cells are also problematic, as they are difficult to identify, purify and grow, and simply may not exist for certain diseased tissues that need to be replaced.

Deepak Chopra

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

Deepak Chopra

Every cell in your body is eavesdropping on your thoughts.

Elizabeth Blackburn

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.

Robert Lanza

Many people, including the president, are concerned about destroying life while trying to save it. We're showing a method by which you can create stem cells without destroying the embryo.

So far we could not find any stem cells regarding Dr. Hwang's 2005 paper that genetically match the DNA of patients. Dr. Hwang's team doesn't have scientific data to prove that it has produced such stem cells.

Bonnie Bassler

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.

There are many cells you could look at forever in 3D.

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.

We discovered two of the three cells which conducted 9/11. If that's not significant, I don't know what is,

Wolfgang Ketterle

Laser cooling opened a new route to ultralow temperature physics. Laser cooling experiments, with room temperature vacuum chambers and easy optical access, look very different from cryogenic cells with multi-layer thermal shielding around them.

Gregory Corso

I was what? - twelve years old - and I was thrown in the cells with these people, so I learned fast.

Allen Ginsberg

Naked in solitary prison cell he looks down at a hard-on.

Ann Coulter

Stem-cell research on embryos is an even worse excuse for the slaughter of life than abortion. No woman is even being spared an inconvenience this time.... It's just harvest and slaughter, harvest and slaughter, harvest and slaughter.

When the use of these stem cells is limited to a particular country, it takes much too long to create technologies usable for the whole humanity. By creating a global network, we plan to share stem cells created in each country and share information on those stem cells.

Mike Mills

I think that animals aren't less intelligent than humans, they're just of a different intelligence. We have five million smell-sensitive cells in our nose, they have two hundred and fifty million - they can smell emotion. They can smell different types of emotion, they just have another type of intelligence.

Elizabeth Blackburn

Cancer cells have had so many other things go wrong with them, genetic, non-genetic changes, that those cells, one of the things they then get selected for is that they have lots of telomerase because now the telomeres in those cells get maintained.

Elizabeth Blackburn

Cancer cells have a lot of other things that are really wrong with them, and we should never forget that these are cells that have become deaf to all the signals that the body sends out, such as you can multiply a certain amount, you can be in a certain place in the body, where to stay, where to move, and so on.

Will Champion

I think hopefully we've got enough brain cells left to decide if our music is really worth something.

Bob Newhart

I'm glad you can't talk on your cells while the plane is in the air. That would drive me crazy.

Chuck Zito

One day between takes on the 'Oz' set, I went into one of the cells and laid down and dozed off. When I woke up, I thought I was back in a federal pen. But I did my time, and today no one is more of a free man than Chuck Zito.

Aldous Huxley

The social body persists although the component cells may change.

Agatha Christie

It is the brain, the little gray cells on which one must rely. One must seek the truth within--not without." ~ Poirot

Agatha Christie

You should employ your little grey cells

Agatha Christie

These little grey cells. It is up to them.

Tom Allen

Through their work with fetal tissue, researchers hope to find ways to harness embryonic stem cells which have the ability to become any type of human cell and could provide new treatments for many illnesses.

Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu

To become a celebrity, a name - and I've actually met some that speak of themselves in the third person - it's scary. They become an object, not a human, complex, questioning thing where the cells are always changing.

Peter Andrews

Ninety-nine percent of the work in stem cells does not involve cloning. This episode will have little impact on pace of research in the field as a whole.

Martin Chalfie

One of the great things about working on C. elegans was the fact that it was transparent, and so when I first heard that seminar describing GFP, and realised, 'I work on this transparent animal, this is going to be terrific! I'll be able to see the cells within the living animal.'

Jim Ramstad

Mr. Speaker, the scientific evidence is overwhelming that embryonic stem cells have great potential to regenerate specific types of human tissues, offering hope for millions of Americans suffering from debilitating diseases.

Craig Venter

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.
