8 statements about Cell, every show
Feinberg: Studies show AlphaFold structures provided no value for drug docking
“There is this, ah, a few papers that came out, one was in Cell, I think last year, which showed that for all of the claims about AlphaFold-solving drug discovery, people try to take AlphaFold-produced protein structures, use them for traditional docking, and f…”
Enders: The Gut Naturally Replenishes All Its Cells Every Two Weeks
“Because usually after two weeks, a gut really replenishes all its cells.”
Alexander: Altering environmental culture changes cells more than directly altering internal chemistry
“If you want to change a cell in a Petri dish, you don't do anything to the cell, you change the culture that it resides within.”
Koller: Arrayed cell screening creates environmental noise across separate wells
“One of the really challenging things about cells is because they're live, if you put different cells in different wells, then they each have a slightly different environment, and you get subtle differences, and it's really hard to reconcile.”
Elfenbein: Cultivated cells require structural scaffolding to mimic meat texture
“Cells on their own they don't know how to spontaneously kind of organize into, you know, a piece of sashimi, for example. Right. They need structures. And they need to follow cues from their environment to organize in this way, to create all the complexities o…”
Berdichevsky: Advanced battery tech will probably double phone runtime
“Probably you can probably extend the runtime of the cell by with a, with not just our technology, but other technologies by roughly a factor of two.”
Lonsdale: Fungal defense compounds can likely target most mechanisms in human cells
“And so there's like thousands of types of things inside of fungi, and a lot of those echo the things and types of our cells, and so because they learn to fight each other in different ways, they can probably target most things in our cells as well.”
