Famous Quotes & Sayings

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 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.

James Patterson

YOU COULD LOCK the Gasman in a padded cell with some dental floss and a bowl of Jell-O, and he'd find a way to make something to explode.

James Lovelock

Humans on the Earth behave in some ways like a pathogenic micro-organism, or like the cells of a tumor.

John B. S. Haldane

Now, if the cooperation of some thousands of millions of cells in our brain can produce our consciousness, a true singularity, the idea becomes vastly more plausible that the cooperation of humanity, or some sections of it, may determine what Comte calls a Great Being.

Khalil Gibran

For the criminal who is weak and poor the narrow cell of death awaits; but honor and glory await the rich who conceal their crimes behind their gold and silver and inherited glory.

Eduard Buchner

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.

Eduard Buchner

We allowed ourselves to become particularly interested in research into the appearance of intermediate products of sugar decomposition during cell-free fermentation.

Carol Greider

Normal levels of telomerase didn't lengthen short telomeres in our mice, so the longer the telomeres are to start with, the longer transplanted stem cells will be able to divide and the more likely the transplant is to succeed.

Lincoln Chafee

Embryonic stem cells can be derived from in vitro fertilized (IVF) embryos that are developed in excess of those needed for the procedure used to enable infertile couples to have children.

Mary Roach

It seems odd to think of tasting without any perceptive experience, but you are doing it right now. Humans have taste receptor cells in the gut, the voice box, the upper esophagus. But only the tongue's receptors report to the brain.

Esther Hicks

Your cells are as depressed as you are, and your cells are as happy and frisky as you are.

Ernst Haeckel

The cell never acts; it reacts.

Erma Bombeck

Authorities say brain cells may shrink, but they don't necessarily die. Frankly, I am cheered by the fact that something is shrinking. I'd be even more thrilled if what was shrinking affected my dress size, but you can't have everything.

Henry Markram

A meticulous virtual copy of the human brain would enable basic research on brain cells and circuits or computer-based drug trials.

Gina Gershon

I'm involved in Project ALS which is trying to get money for stem cell research. That's one I've been pretty involved with because if you can cure that, you can cure so many other diseases.

James D. Watson

The brain is the last and grandest biological frontier, the most complex thing we have yet discovered in our universe. It contains hundreds of billions of cells interlinked through trillions of connections. The brain boggles the mind.

George Sand

Genius, whether locked up in a cell or roaming at large, is always solitary ...

Jean Houston

You are not an encapsulated bag of skin dragging around a dreary little ego. You are an evolutionary wonder, a trillion cells singing together in a vast chorale, an organism – environment, a symbiosis of cell and soul.

Christine Pelosi

Conservatives and companies condoned Rush Limbaugh's 2006 attacks on Michael J. Fox for campaigning about stem cell research.

Christian Lous Lange

Upon the union of the male germ cell with the female egg cell, a new cell is created which almost immediately splits into two parts. One of these grows rapidly, creating the human body of the individual with all its organs, and dies only with the individual.

Frances Farmer

For eight years I was an inmate in a state asylum for the insane. During those years I passed through such unbearable terror that I deteriorated into a wild, frightened creature intent only on survival. And I survived. I was raped by orderlies, gnawed on by rats and poisoned by tainted food. I was chained in padded cells, strapped into strait-jackets and half-drowned in ice baths. And I survived. The asylum itself was a steel trap, and I was not released from its jaws alive and victorious. I crawled out mutilated, whimpering and terribly alone. But I did survive.

Jen Lancaster

Working out is incredibly boring. I swear it's true that the bigger your muscles get, the fewer brain cells you have.

Chris Pratt

I lose my cell phone so much that I switch it every month or so, but Sony Ericsson is usually what I use.

George W. Bush

Embryonic stem cell research is at the leading edge of a series of moral hazards.

George W. Bush

I have faith, as I did when I announced my stem-cell decision in 2001, that science and ethics can coexist.

George Orwell

The weariness of the cell is the vigour of the organism.

Francis Crick

The balance of evidence both from the cell-free system and from the study of mutation, suggests that this does not occur at random, and that triplets coding the same amino acid may well be rather similar.

Homaro Cantu

Algae is the perfect food plant. It doubles cell mass every twelve hours, depending on the strain.

Ian Somerhalder

The symphonic sounds of nature awaken every cell in my body and, in that moment, without a doubt, I am truly alive.

George Bernard Shaw

While we have prisons it matters little which of us occupy the cells.

Gena Showalter

He was in my nose, my mouth, on my skin, inside my cells, deep in the marrow of my bones. Just then, he was everything to me.
