All cells rely on ... observed throughout the animal kingdom. For example, humans alone have over 20 different kinds of integrins. Integrins link the actin cytoskeleton of a cell to various ...

In a world first that challenges what we thought we knew about biology, scientists have successfully engineered animal cells that can photosynthesize. The breakthrough promises to revolutionize ...

Altogether, lipids account for about half the mass of cell membranes. Cholesterol molecules, although less abundant than glycerophospholipids, account for about 20 percent of the lipids in animal ...

A study shows how scientists can control cell division on demand outside of a living system. The work is a significant leap forward that can enhance our grasp of human biology and disease.

A living cell is a bustling metropolis, with countless molecules and proteins navigating crowded spaces in every direction.

Now biophysics research at The University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA) has taken a closer look at a cell’s cytoskeleton and found a new purpose: It aids in energy transfer and information processing ...

Each component of a cell has its own function. Animal and plant cells differ and they have similarities. Nucleus, cell membrane, cytoplasm and mitochondria are four cell components that are found ...

Plant vs Animal Cells: Lysosomes Lysosomes are membrane-bound organelles that are found within cells. Their main role is to ...

Scientists at UCL have discovered a novel role played by ribosomes during the folding of new proteins in cells, described in their paper in Nature. Ribosomes, the cell's dedicated molecular ...

The U1 snRNP complex ensures that the protein blueprints are fully completed. This is important because cells tend to halt the process prematurely.

The last Apple event came and went without even the smallest of hints at a foldable iPhone. And with the rumors thin on the ground, I'd be skeptical if such a phone is even in the works ...
