But somewhere in that dying world, an extraordinary thing happened. A larger cell swallowed a smaller one, and instead of digesting it, they merged.

they merged. The smaller cell became what we now call the mitochondria, the little powerhouse inside almost every complex cell on earth.

The smaller cell became what we now call the mitochondria, the little powerhouse inside almost every complex cell on earth. That merger created an energy surplus so vast,

the parts have to remember that they are parts. A cell in your body wants to grow and replicate. And normally its growth serves you.

Your cells grow so you can grow. But sometimes a cell forgets that it belongs to a whole. It starts growing without limit.

I think we can draw a direct line from the molecular furnaces of metabolism, one billion biochemical reactions in every cell, in every second, all the way to the neural circuits

for our organism, for health and, eventually, for sleep. Now throughout your body, in each and every single cell, there is a tiny molecular clock ticking inside it.

But this is not the whole story, because only fairly recently, only in the early 2000s, another type of cell has been discovered, and we call them retinal ganglion cells.

Today, Luddite is a broad-spectrum term for technophobes. But the Luddites weren't your mom using a landline instead of a cell phone or sending you Hallmark cards with little words underlined.

CRISPR's Next Advance Is Bigger Than You Think | Jennifer Doudna | TED · TED

But with CRISPR, we have a tool that works like a scalpel. It allows us to target a particular gene in a particular kind of cell. With CRISPR, we can change one kind of bacterium

This required sleeping in tents, strangers’ homes, and the occasional jail cell along the way. But this morning, as Béliveau was ready to leave,

But here's a problem. Now, we all start life as a single cell. It multiples to two. Two becomes four. Four becomes eight,

to, well, keep me standing here before you. So every time a cell divides, all of its DNA has to be copied, all of the coding DNA inside of those chromosomes,

The science of cells that never get old | Elizabeth Blackburn

It is just one of those facts of life. Every time the cell divides and the DNA is copied, some of that DNA from the ends gets worn down and shortened,

Again, thanks to the COVID vaccines. But basically, RNA is transcribed from DNA in the cell, and messenger RNA specifically serves as a template for protein synthesis.

and messenger RNA specifically serves as a template for protein synthesis. So usually the more mRNA you have in the cell, the more protein you get.

What If a Simple Blood Test Could Detect Cancer? | Hani Goodarzi | TED · TED

So with that short introduction, let me break down the science for you. As you may know, every cell in our body shares the same genetic code as every other cell.

As you may know, every cell in our body shares the same genetic code as every other cell. It's as if our cells have access to the same pantry,

It's actually the diversity in genomic recipes that gives us the more than 200 cell types we have in our bodies, each with their own distinct role and function,

And as you can imagine, there is a complex machinery in place in the cell that governs this process and tells the cell for each of its 20,000 genes

there is a complex machinery in place in the cell that governs this process and tells the cell for each of its 20,000 genes how much of them it needs to express

What If a Simple Blood Test Could Detect Cancer? | Hani Goodarzi | TED · TED

how much of them it needs to express to be a healthy, well-functioning cell. Now, cancer cells, being the resourceful survivalists that they are,

So collectively, oncRNAs actually provide a digital molecular barcode that captures cancer cell identity. And it's actually unique to the type or subtype of cancer.
