A eukaryote is any cell or organism that possesses a clearly defined nucleus. Eukaryotic cells form the foundation of complex, multicellular life, including apple trees, mushrooms, fish and humans.
These include stress granules and proteasome storage granules (PSGs). In the past, these membraneless organelles were only visible as “droplets” using a fluorescence microscope. Now, researchers from ...
While prokaryotic cells do not have membrane-bound structures, they do have distinct cellular regions (Figure 1). In prokaryotic cells, DNA bundles together in a region called the nucleoid. Primitive ...
Researchers have developed synthetic genes that function like the genes in living cells. The artificial genes can build intracellular structures through a cascading sequence that builds ...
The human genome has to be carefully organized so it will fit inside of the nuclei of cells, while also remaining accessible ...
The cochlea is the spiral-shaped structure within the inner ear responsible for our sense of hearing. To fully understand ...
The mini review brings together emerging evidence showing that glial cells actively influence disease progression and ...
Scientists suggest death may not be biologically final at the cellular level. Research shows cells can enter a “third state of life,” remaining active and reorganizing after an organism dies. Studies ...
