In fact, the mere presence of a nucleus is considered one of the defining features of a eukaryotic cell. This structure is so important because it is the site at which the cell's DNA is housed and ...

Eukaryotic cells form the foundation of complex ... For example, mutations in mitochondrial DNA can disrupt oxidative phosphorylation, leading to reduced ATP production and increased reactive oxygen ...

Researchers at the Center for Embryology and Healthy Development (CRESCO) aim to find out why so many early embryos fail in ...

Numerous other features and processes associated with modern eukaryotic cells evolved during this time ... roles in highly conserved processes within the nucleus itself, such as DNA replication and ...

Genetic switches could play a role in creating complex eukaryotic genetic circuits for programmed cell-free systems or artificial cells.

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.
