The basic structure of a plant cell is shown below. Photosynthesis relies on many structures in the cell all working together, each playing its role. The diagram below shows the same plant cell ...

Scientists uncover how the nucleolus, a tiny structure within cells, may control aging and lifespan, opening new ...

When speaking of motors, most people think of those powering vehicles and human machinery. However, biological motors have ...

This important study demonstrates the potential of synthetic gene circuits to detect and target aberrant RAS activity in cancer cell lines. The circuit design is novel and the evidence supporting the ...

The new research reveals a novel mechanism for signal transmission in brain cells and helps answer an open question in neuroscience about how intracellular signals travel over long distances in ...

Due to proteostasis stress induced by aging or disease, misfolded proteins can form toxic intermediate species of aggregates and eventually mature into less toxic inclusion bodies (IBs). Here, using a ...

Feb. 4, 2025 — Research has shown that a potential new targeted therapy for childhood brain cancer is effective in infiltrating and killing tumor cells in preclinical models tested in mice.

Membrane biophysics is the study of the physical ... and the effect they have on paracellular transport and phenomena relating to cell shape. MD simulations and experiments in cells reveal core ...

structure and interactions of cellular molecules such as nucleic acids and proteins that carry out the biological processes essential for the cell s functions and maintenance. Single-cell ...

Many cells in multicellular organisms are specialised. They have specific roles in the organism of which they are part. Their structure is adapted to their function. They are often grouped ...

Feb. 10, 2025 — Influenza A virus particles strategically adapt their shape -- to become either spheres or larger filaments -- to favor their ability to infect cells depending on environmental ...
