To print microscopic structures, scientists need to inject a liquid material called a photoresist into the cell. This special ...

This review focuses on the unique characteristics of mitochondrial nucleoids in mammalian cells, highlighting their ...

Scientists at ChristianaCare’s Helen F. Graham Cancer Center & Research Institute and the University of Delaware have discovered a surprisingly simple explanation for how our bodies stay so ...

In biology textbooks and beyond, the human genome and DNA therein typically are taught in only one dimension. While it can be ...

The therapeutic impact of glycine was evaluated in various HBV-infected cell lines and murine models via various methodologies including transcriptomic sequencing, metabolomics sequencing, flow ...

Inositol phosphate metabolites produced by inositol metabolism enzymes serve as vital secondary messengers in eukaryotic cell signaling systems and are ... altering the three-dimensional structure of ...

One good example of a protein complex in a eukaryotic cell is the proteasome, which is a structure involved in the degradation of proteins. In the case of prokaryotic cells, cytoplasmic structures ...

Prokaryotes are unicellular organisms that lack membrane-bound structures. This article details the structure of prokaryotic cells and provides examples of prokaryotic organisms.

Think back to that basic biology class you took in high school. You probably learned about organelles, those little “organs” inside cells that form compartments with individual functions. For example, ...

The much older prokaryotic cells, which make up the vast kingdoms of bacteria and archaea and whose cells lack these features, never got complex multicellularity off the ground. They have evolved ...

Researchers think a microbe that was engulfed by an algal cell 100 million years ago has since evolved into an integral part of the cell's machinery.
