Cell: Structure and Functions The cell is the structural and functional unit of living organisms. It was discovered by Robert Hooke in 1665. Cell in Latin means “little room”.

A team led by UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers has uncovered the atomic structure of a protein complex pivotal to ...

The Cell structure and organelles differ in plants and animals and are mainly categorized based on their function. The variation in cell composition is the reason for the difference between plant ...

This fluorescence image shows chloroplasts (magenta colored) successfully incorporated into the hamster cells, with other features of the animal cell also highlighted (nuclei in light blue and ...

Centrosomes are not essential for cell division in most animal cells, although they contribute to the efficiency of mitotic spindle assembly. Centrosome loss is tolerated surprisingly well in fly ...

In a scientific first, researchers from Vanderbilt University and the University of California, San Diego, have generated a ...

Biomembranes enclose biological cells like a skin. They also surround organelles that carry out important functions in metabolism and cell division. Scientists have long known in principle how ...

Think back to that basic biology class you took in high school. You probably learned about organelles, those little “organs” inside cells that form compartments with individual functions. For example, ...

Membrane-less organelles, found inside human cells, have a variety of important biological functions, from gene regulation to stress response Date: August 21, 2019 ...

With a new method, researchers have captured a high-resolution metabolic “map” of how cells orchestrate glucose processing, ...
