1993 examples of Cells in a sentence

Let's remember that our cells sustain our lives in a very real way.
"We are what we eat," could easily be described as, "We are what our cells eat."
And in the case of the flora in our gut, these cells may not even be human.
But it's also worth noting that cells also mediate our experience of life.
Behind every sound, sight, touch, taste and smell is a corresponding set of cells that receive this information and interpret it for us.
May none of your non-cancer cells become endangered species.
If you take those networks, this idea of networks, and you apply universal principles, mathematizable, universal principles, all of these scalings and all of these constraints follow, including the description of the forest, the description of your circulatory system, the description within cells.
And I stumbled across something called "cancer stem cells."
At first when I heard of cancer stem cells, I didn't really know how to put the two together.
Last summer I worked at Stanford University, doing some research on cancer stem cells.
We're removing the cancer cells, but we're revealing the previous damage that the body has tried to fix.
Meaning that you have muscle cells, but they're not dividing, so it doesn't seem like a good target for cancer to hijack.
And the first thing that makes me think is that blood vessels are like highways for the tumor cells.
Tumor cells can travel through the blood vessels.
And what MyoD essentially does is, it causes cells to differentiate into muscle cells.
So this compound, MyoD, has been tested on a lot of different cell types and been shown to actually convert this variety of cell types into skeletal muscle cells.
So, is it possible that the tumor cells are going to the skeletal muscle tissue, but once in contact inside the skeletal muscle tissue, MyoD acts upon these tumor cells and causes them to become skeletal muscle cells?
Maybe tumor cells are being disguised as skeletal muscle cells, and this is why it seems as if it is so rare.
These stories saturated my cells and nerves, and to be honest, I stopped sleeping for three years.
But before doing that, I just briefly want to remind you about what you already know: that our genomes, our genetic material, are stored in almost all cells in our bodies in chromosomes in the form of DNA, which is this famous double-helical molecule.
I think that perhaps the emergence of the first cells was as probable as the emergence of the stars.
And so what we have here is a description of single cells replicating, metabolizing, burning through chemistries.
And just a few months ago in my lab, we were able to take these very same molecules and make cells with them.
And all I wanted to show you is we can set up molecules in membranes, in real cells, and then it sets up a kind of molecular Darwinism, a molecular survival of the fittest.
If we can somehow encourage these molecules to talk to each other and make the right shapes and compete, they will start to form cells that will replicate and compete.
Wouldn't it be great if you could take these artificial biological cells and fuse them with biological ones to correct problems that we couldn't really deal with?
And he took skin cells, healthy skin and cancerous bone marrow, and sequenced the whole genomes of both of them in a couple of weeks, no big deal.
And when you have a population of fast-dividing cancer cells, if one of them acquires new mutations, which allow them to grow more quickly, acquire nutrients more successfully, invade the body, they'll be selected for by evolution.
Throw a drug at it, and resistant cells will grow back.
What this told us was that Jonas' tumor did not arise from cells of his own body.
