Intracellular protein trafficking and secretion of proteins into the extracellular environment are sequential and tightly ...

The eukaryotic cell, the most significant increase in complexity in the history of life's evolution on Earth, emerged as a phase transition and unlocked the path toward other major transitions ...

For over 150 years, scientists have known that wounds alter electric fields across skin cells, says cell biologist Min Zhao of the University of California, Davis School of Medicine. But they didn ...

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 ...

It “opens up a complete new avenue [to rescue] this magnificent species and icon of conservation,” and may suggest strategies for generating stem cells for other vulnerable and endangered species.

A simple question deserves a simple answer. How many cells are in your body? Unfortunately, your cells can’t fill out census forms, so they can’t tell you themselves. And while it’s easy ...

Living organisms are made up of two kinds of cells—prokaryotes and eukaryotes. Prokaryotes are single-celled organisms that lack a nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles within the cell ...

A new hypothesis suggests that it could come down to how prokaryotic genomes respond to a small population size. Every organism visible to the naked eye is a mass of genetically identical cells. Each ...

Red blood cells carry oxygen from the lungs around the body. They then carry carbon dioxide from around the body back to the lungs. These cells are an important component of blood. However ...
