Researchers have developed a vascularized organoid model of hormone secreting cells in the pancreas. The advance promises to improve diabetes research and cell-based therapies.

Our cells rely on microscopic highways and specialized protein vehicles to move everything—from positioning organelles to carting protein instructions to disposing of cellular garbage. These highways ...

Mitochondria play a central role in energy metabolism and overall health. In obesity and its comorbidities, mitochondrial ...

Each organelle performs a specific function critical to the cell's survival (Table 1). Table 1. The structure and function of key eukaryotic cell structures. In animal cells, vacuoles are generally ...

A eukaryote is any cell or organism that possesses a clearly defined nucleus. Eukaryotic cells form the foundation of complex, multicellular life, including apple trees, mushrooms, fish and humans.

Its structure is divided into three domains ... specific or shared, in muscle tissue, adipose tissue and endothelial cells. New genetic and nontraditional factors may be involved in these mechanisms.

However, the currently used tissue biofabrication methods cannot replicate the native structure ... 3D bioprinted adipose tissues rapidly promoted the migration of skin cells in vitro by ...

But filopodia can also wreak havoc: metastatic cancer cells use them to invade new regions of the body. Filopodia are composed of hexagonal bundles of proteins that give them structure and strength.

As per a study published on PubMed, the way our body stores fat depends on where adipose cells are located. Men tend to accumulate more visceral fat than women because they often eat higher ...
