#cell replication

[justkidneying]

On the topic of regent (one that'll probably keep happening woops)

What're your thoughts on characters with regenerative powers needing to eat more like speedsters? Either constantly like a speedster, or maybe just after regrowing their legs that got blown off.

Like what if this person could heal like Wolverine (though I don't think he was ever shown as having to eat more after regrowing a limb or four)?

haha I love this topic, so keep it coming!

Yes, they would need to eat more. The main components of our cells are proteins. You also need lipids, carbohydrates (energy), and many other minerals and vitamins to carry out cell processes. One of these processes, replication, requires a lot of energy and matter to build. You need GTP and ATP to act as fuel, and proteins as building blocks for components of the cell. Most enzymes, layers, and organelles are made of proteins. So, healing (even on a normal person) mainly requires calories and protein. Someone who is doing a lot of healing or regrowing entire body parts would definitely need to eat more nutrient dense foods.

I hope I answered your question, and thank you for the ask!

what the hell even is cell replication and how has it become my problem

[good-beanswrites]

I JUST REALIZEd. Lcsys as the Truman show (if you haven't watched that, it's about this guy who gets his life entirely broadcasted as a TV show but he doesn't know about it)

OOHHH yes >:O It's been a while since I've seen the movie so I wasn't able to remember many specific details, but like a lot of people that last scene really stuck with me

There's an added level of weirdness that Es has to come to terms with when the reveal finally happens -- the fact that this audience actually knows more about them than themself. (I think if it were real, Milgram's dedicated fanbase could have tracked down Es' true identity by the end.) These people see Es' every move, hear their every word, scrutinize their every decision, and knew their real name long before they did...

On a sillier note, I remember the scene with the advertisements and I'm laughing picturing the prisoners trying to hype up their own mv release dates. Es posts the interrogation schedule and every five seconds someone is like, "Oh Wow! I Can't Believe My Song Will Be Extracted On Wednesday March Fifth At Six O'Clock PM Japan Standard Time! I'm So Nervous For Wednesday March Fifth At Six O'Clock PM Japan Standard Time!"

the only deity work i do is vague, nonspecific, unnamed, and a bit wild. i don't know what the consciousnesses that i contribute to call themselves, but i know their energies and i am learning what they need of me in return. there are infinite levels of awareness between me and the most divine, so the ones i personally venerate are as loosely defined as possible. this keeps me humble in working with them, and, more importantly, helps me bypass my Christian trauma.

hands up if you also only work with:

1) Earth Mother (Divine Feminine)

2) Horned God (Divine Masculine)

3) Divine Source (Genderless/genderful godhead)

Youre ALIVE?????

I wouldn't say I'm living but in fact by many definitions I am

Do they keep you in a cell? Cells. When you're not performing your duties do they keep you in a little box? Cells. Interlinked. What's it like to hold the hand of someone you love? Interlinked. Do they teach you how to feel finger to finger? Interlinked. Do you long for having your heart interlinked? Interlinked. Do you dream about being interlinked? Have they left a place for you where you can dream? Interlinked. What's it like to hold your child in your arms? Interlinked. What's it like to play with your dog? Interlinked. Do you feel that there's a part of you that's missing? Interlinked. Do you like to connect to things? Interlinked. What happens when that linkage is broken? Interlinked. Have they let you feel heartbreak? Interlinked. Did you buy a present for the person you love? Within cells interlinked. Why don't you say that three times? Within cells interlinked. Within cells interlinked. Within cells interlinked.

jesse and walt are having an intense argument in his living room, just trying to blow each other up with their minds, and then baby toddles in and holds up a toy phone to jesse and he's like "hang on—" and proceeds to have a fake conversation into the phone until baby's satisfied and hands it back to her before going back to walt like "ur a fucking elderly freak and i hope gus jacks ur stupid formula"

• Civilian cell mitosis guide •

Step 1: Input Genome data into the replicator. If you have done it correctly it will create a "Ding" noise

Step 2: Provide at least one sample of your physical self to the chute in the replicator, this can be anything from your hair, fingernails, spit, cytoplasm, cell membrane or anything of the sorts.

Step 3: Ensure the sentriols are in the right placements (Opposite to each other in the tank) before providing the replicator its spindle fiber. The spindle fiber should go in through the small hole next to the genome input.

Step 4: Closely examine the replicator while in it's metaphase and anaphase. If one or more chromosomes do not split properly to their designated location, call the T cells immediately

Step 5: Once metaphase and anaphase go through successfully, wait 20-22 hours for the replicator to complete mitosis.

Why cancer cells are bad for the body and how to spot them before they complete the mitosis cycle

Why cancer cells are bad for the body:

Cancer cells have the possibility to go rogue and cause chaos by replicating outside of the mitosis program, multiplying quicker than other cells in the body.

Cancer cells also hoard nutrients and starve other places in the body, causing malnutrition and slowing metabolism in other areas of the body while ensuring their own kind can replicate as much as possible

Cancer cells also do not heed the programmed cell death, ensuring their numbers always increase.

Worst of all, cancer cells are not limited to one area of the body, if they successfully go through metastasis, they can and will inflict the whole body with cancer, almost guaranteeing the body's end.

How to spot a cancer cell:

Does the cell inside your replicator look exactly like you? If not, that is a cancer cell.

Does the cell have extra features that a normal cell like you doesn't have (e.g. 3 eyes, 4 arms, 2 heads, ect.)? If yes, that is a cancer cell

Does the cell have any deformities on their physical features (e.g. odd colored eye(s), discolored cell membrane, unusually proportioned limbs, ect.)? If yes, that is a cancer cell

Does the cell struggle to do basic things you can do (e.g. walk, respond to outside stimulus, talk, ect.)? If yes, that is a cancer cell

Does the cell oxidize and consume nutrients unusually quicker than you do, and request more nutrients be delivered? If yes, that is a cancer cell

If one or more of these apply to your newly replicated/currently replicating daughter cell, call the T cells immediately. Do not hesitate, do not panic, do not worry. If you are unable to contact the T cells, quickly let any immunocyte in your area know of your situation and they will help you. Do not risk the body's safety because of your mistake.

Question. Wouldn’t accelerated healing mean you age FASTER than normal bc it’s through cell replication and failed cell replication that we age?

[vexillologyisenjoyable]

humans can just heal cuts and we act like it’s normal

[onepokerhen]

the 00s may have been the dark age for cartoons but i will not lie its so fascinating to watch people go from analog to digital in real time. its so messy. everyone is baby learning how to walk again.

and its something that will never happen again most likely since we're so accustomed to digital now.

i was tryna buy myself some drinkies cos im bored of drinking water and absolutely fucking everything has sucralose (GENOTOXIC) in it

[bonebrokebuddy]

Aw man, just reread my document I wrote on my speculation on how the metagene works & how modern DC could rewrite it to being a result of retroviruses & transposons and man, I really wish I finished that post.

Unfortunately, the reason I stopped was explaining it all down to the point where someone with little genetic knowledge could still understand it proved to be too lengthy and long winded of a task.

Maybe one day I’ll pour myself back into research & finish that speculative paper. Bc I had a whole fun idea that relied on that background information that was about the Daily Planet reporting on the discovery of an entire city of metas with similar meta abilities. The town faced such high levels of radiation and contamination, only the population with the meta gene survived:(

Exam tomorrow and I've been so so sick (flu) and struggling to retain anything I study and I haven't even started to review for my 2nd exam which is the very next day...

[maddy-ferguson]

it's already been a month since mike haircut reveal day season 5 will be here in no time

[sunriseovergotham]

im ok it doesnt even matter we're on a rock hurtling through space at unimaginable speeds i dont think this is my biggest problem
