Michio Kaku

Already from your own cells scientists can grow skin, cartilage, noses, blood vessels, bladders and windpipes. In the future, scientists will grow more complex organs, like livers and kidneys. The phrase 'organ failure' will disappear.

John Abizaid

Capturing any member of any terrorist cell or any insurgent cell that we may happen to come across is always very, very valuable, and the thing that interests me is that in most instances after a time people talk and they tell us what they know.

The errors in data in (Hwang's) 2005 paper in (journal) Science are not simple mistakes, but it was an intentional fabrication to inflate the number of stem cells from two to 11.

James Lovelock

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

Every hidden cell is throbbing with music and life, every fiber thrilling like harp strings.

Nick Cave

The blues is instilled in every musical cell that floats around your body.

Nancy Johnson

Millions of American families affected by debilitating diseases have new hope today after the U.S. House passed legislation to support potentially life-saving stem cell research.

Tom DeLay

The best that can be said about embryonic stem cell research is that it is scientific exploration into the potential benefits of killing human beings.

Tom Allen

Stem cell research holds out the promise of finding cures and treatments for a wide range of diseases.

Siobhan Davies

I don't start a piece knowing exactly what effect it's going to have. There is a seed of an idea that I could never articulate, right at the beginning of the piece, literally like one cell.

Michael Steele

We have a lot to gain through furthering stem cell research, but medical breakthroughs should be fundamentally about saving, not destroying, human life. Therefore, I support stem cell research that does not destroy the embryo.

Kimora Lee Simmons

I like everything with a heaping dose of feminitity, including my cell phone. I created this phone for the classic woman, who like me, loves diamonds & wants a wireless.

Michael Behe

Throughout history there have been many other examples, similar to that of Haeckel, Huxley and the cell, where a key piece of a particular scientific puzzle was beyond the understanding of the age.

You can see the cells are kind of oddly shaped, ... They're kind of flat and stretched out and dark in color.

Jacques Monod

There are living systems; there is no living "matter." No substance, no single molecule, extracted and isolated from a living being possess, of its own, the aforementioned paradoxical properties. They are present in living systems only; that is to say, nowhere below the level of the cell.

Paul Zane Pilzer

Without a daily supply of proteins, vitamins, and minerals, no matter how much energy we get in the form of calories, our bodies and minds deteriorate because we are not able to fully replace the dying cells in our internal and external organs.

Mary E. Pearson

When is a cell finally too small to hold our essence?

Lynn Margulis

The idea that we are "stewards of the earth" is another symptom of human arrogance. Imagine yourself with the task of overseeing your body's physical processes.

Are you conscious of the blood flow through your arteries, or the fact that you are losing a hundred thousand skin cells a minute?

Mort Kondracke

Well, there are two kinds of stem cells: adult stem cells, which you can get from any part of a grown body, and embryonic stem cells. These are the inner- core of days-old embryos that can develop into any kind of cell.

Brigitte Boisselier

These are completely different species with different cells and different reproductive techniques,

These findings provide the foundation for learning how to modify the circuitry of embryonic stem cells to repair damaged or diseased cells or to make cells for regenerative medicine, ... They also establish the foundation for solving circuitry for all human cells.

Eric Kandel

There are cells in the brain that respond to faces. This is one of the reasons that I deal with portraiture. We can learn a lot about our perception of facial expression from the behavior of these cells.

Eric Kandel

The task of neural science is to explain behaviour in terms of the activities of the brain. How does the brain marshall its millions of individual nerve cells to produce behaviour, and how are these cells influenced by the environment...? The last frontier of the biological sciences – their ultimate challenge – is to understand the biological basis of consciousness and the mental processes by which we perceive, act, learn, and remember.

Peter Agre

The Department of Cell Biology at Johns Hopkins was founded and directed by Tom Pollard, an engaging young scientist with remarkable energy and enthusiasm.
