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

New method developed by UTSW researchers removes mysterious organelles from stem cells and embryos to uncover their roles.

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”.

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

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 ...

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 ...

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, ...

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 ...

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 ...
