Researchers have found striking parallels between how archaeal cells and more complex cells, including humans' and animals', package and store their genetic material. The breakthrough study provided ...

Researchers from UNIGE and EMBL reveal the internal structure of over hundreds of plankton species, paving the way for a global cellular atlas.

A colorful, intricate diagram circulating on social media is being presented as a groundbreaking picture of a human cell. "This photo is the most detailed model of a human cell to date, obtained using ...

Cells with nuclei are known as eukaryotic cells, the cells that make up animals, plants and yeast. The nucleus is the organelle that contains the majority of the cell's genetic material, where it is ...

The tubulin family of proteins are vital components of the eukaryotic cytoskeleton and are the main constituent of microtubules in living cells. The tubulin proteins α- and β polymerize into long ...

Bacteria are amongst the simplest of organisms - they are made of single cells. Their cell structure is simpler than the cells of animals, plants and fungi. Size Most are 5 μm - 100 μm. Most are 0.2 ...
