As exciting light in a scanning confocal microscope encounters a cell and its subcellular components, it is refracted and scattered.
In essence, each cell, and its network, appraises its information field and reacts as it can.
Structure is very important for biologists as it affects chromosome functions, behavior of the cell, and its state.
We expect much of this small cell, and its door seldom stands open.
There is no shortage of grisly reminders, like Block 11 with its one-foot-square "standing cell" and its suffocating starvation cell, torturous punishment for disobedient prison laborers.
In the five years the prison has been running, the isolation cell and its limb-restraining bed have never been used.
Paget's way of framing the issue — metastasis as the result of a pathological relationship between a cancer cell and its environment — lay dormant for more than a century.
With the accelerator floored and the brake lines cut, the cell and its progeny are free to rapidly multiply.
In so doing, a tumour cell and its progeny can proliferate when a healthy cell would not.
Typically, cancer is envisioned as a mass of dividing cells, with no difference between one cell and its neighbor.
ERC is accumulated only in the mother cell, and its accumulation induces senescence (Kobayashi 2011).
