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 ...

This biomimetic robot, powered by bacteria in water, can collect water temperature, pollution levels, biological and craft ...

Drugs targeting amyloid plaques have failed to show efficacy in clinical trials. A new approach is needed to tackle AD ...

The structure and function of key prokaryotic cell structures. Prokaryotes have ribosomes but they are smaller and structurally simpler than those in eukaryotic cells. These non-membrane-bound ...

The fatty membrane surrounding every living cell is a vibrant environment where countless biological processes take place.

New research reveals that brain cells use a muscle-like signaling mechanism to relay information over long distances.

To move, these migratory cells rely on filopodia—sensitive, finger-like protrusions that reach out from the cell membrane into ... of proteins that give them structure and strength.

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 ...

In this manuscript the authors established a novel three-dimensional culture system for stratified epithelia that allows epithelial cells to undergo epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and ...

Some of the body's cells stay put for life, while others are free to roam. To move, these migratory cells rely on filopodia—sensitive, finger-like protrusions that reach out from the cell membrane ...
