Cells are the smallest units of life. But even within the same tissue or organ, they are not all identical. New variations arise continuously during cell proliferation. While genetic mutations alter ...

In biology classes from high school through university, I learned that mitochondria are little objects that reside within ...

My search for answers to these stupendously ambitious questions led me, it now seems inexorably, to mitochondria. This idea of mitochondria being little batteries with a built-in charger, about as ...

The tool will allow women to screen for HPV, which causes almost all cases of cervical cancer, without visiting a doctor. By Maggie Astor The Food and Drug Administration approved the United ...

Contact between the virus and the cell surface is a crucial first step, which can also prevent infections if entry into the cells is blocked. "The interaction with a host cell is dynamic and ...

It explains how viruses are incredibly small and require a host cell to survive and replicate. The documentary highlights the life cycle of a specific virus, Fage, and outlines the impact of viral ...

You can only see them under a microscope. Cells group themselves ... The cells carry on doing this until they have made enough cells. To divide, the cell goes through a process called the cell cycle.

Gram-positive bacteria are bacteria that contain a thick cell wall. During the Gram staining process — a test that experts use to view the bacteria under a microscope — they appear purple or blue.

The enormous amount of data obtained by filming biological processes using a microscope has previously been an obstacle for analyses. Using artificial intelligence (AI), researchers at the University ...
