Cells Quotes

Scientific voices on stem cells and cellular research.

This page centers on researchers' remarks about stem cells, from adult cells resisting tumor formation to hopes about future usefulness, alongside notes on how limited actual clinical treatments still are. For related science-adjacent sayings, see Able quotes.

These little grey cells. It is up to them.

Agatha Christie

There are over 7,000 different types of proteins in typical eukaryotic cells; the total number depends on the cell class and function.

Quotes by Ada Yonath

Yes, we are looking into gene therapies for immune cells to target senescent cells.

Quotes by Liz Parrish

Stem cells are probably going to be extremely useful.

Quotes by Joseph Murray
