Lung cells, for instance, divide quite rarely, and still account for a significant amount of cancer.
Red blood cells, for instance, would be spherical instead of flat if it were not for their cytoskeleton.
Thin-film solar cells, for instance, require less material than traditional solar cells, and are therefore cheaper, lighter, and flexible.
Domestic fuel cells, for instance, are common in energy-hungry Japan.
Immature fat cells, for instance, have been shown to behave like macrophages, the immune cells that engulf and destroy invading pathogens.
Intestinal cells, for instance, expressed high levels of genes associated with digestion, while genes related to learning and memory were highly expressed in neurons.
One set of nerve cells, for instance, might receive signals to move the hand and then relay these signals to the muscles that cause hand movement.
Just extending the technique to human liver cells, for instance, could hasten the development of external devices that use living cells to aid patients with liver failure.
Cartilage cells, for instance, remember if they are supposed to form an upper arm, lower arm, or hand, while Schwann cells simply migrate anyplace that they are needed.
The stem cells, for instance, could conceivably be grown into nerve cells, heart cells and other types of cells for use in transplants.
Some of the latest solar cells, for instance, can covert sunlight into electricity with an efficiency of more than 40%.
