“We found that the shifts in cell morphology that shape tissues could…trigger asymmetric division and direct core identity decisions underpinning tissue building.” If the asymmetry leads to ...

Scientists from The University of Manchester have changed our understanding of how cells in living organisms divide, which could revise what students are taught at school. In a study published ...

Using this approach, Neal et al. were able to produce the first open-source genome-wide perturbation atlas of cell morphology in human cells. The atlas contains 3 genome-wide genotype-phenotype maps ...

In their article published in Nature Methods, the researchers applied PERISCOPE to execute three whole-genome CRISPR screens to create an open-source atlas of cell morphology. The study is the ...

These noncoding RNA sequences were much more abundant in the EVs than in the archaeal cells themselves. “It was the first time that we found RNA in EVs in archaea,” she said. Erdmann wondered ...

The findings have been reported in Nature Communications. The study has shown that these archaeal microbes are like predators that attack and kill host cells, which seem to be other, larger archaeal ...

The first eukaryotes (the ancestors of all animals, plants and fungi) evolved some two billion years ago, when an archaeal cell and a bacterial cell merged together. Why did they merge?

Sarcomatoid dedifferentiation is a unique entity based on the presence of pathognomonic spindle-cell morphology, which can arise within any RCC histologic background. RCC with sarcomatoid ...

A much higher diversity in morphology of archaeal viruses than bacteriophages suggests a complex history of origin of the former. This also implies that they may have unique virion structures and ...

“This is a massive problem,” Dey says. The archaeal cell would have had long protrusions, as seen on some modern-day archaea that live in close association with other microbes. The ...
