The primary function of the nucleolus is as the site of ribosome-subunit biogenesis in eukaryotic cells. The initial ribosomal RNA (rRNA) precursor is transcribed by RNA polymerase I and is ...

The truth is clear: Animal models aren’t just helpful; they’re irreplaceable. They remain central to understanding the ...

Ultrastructural studies of centipede and other myriapod ovaries reveal direct soma-germline contact across the basement ...

A new study has provided fresh insights into how animals such as the woolly mammoth, musk ox and arctic fox evolved to ...

A team of scientists has answered a long-standing question in cell biology, uncovering how the cell's main energy currency, ATP, is transported into the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Disrupted energy ...

Homeostasis is the ability of living organisms to maintain stable internal conditions, such as temperature, hydration and ...

Researchers at the Francis Crick Institute have shown that gonadotrophs, cells in the pituitary gland with a key role in ...

We found that specific cells in the cortex (the outermost layer of the brain) collectively mapped the animal’s goal progress. For example, one cell could fire when the animal was 70% of the way ...

The study focused on the cells' fate in animal models. "Human pluripotent stem cell-derived islet transplantation is a promising β cell replacement therapy for patients with type 1 diabetes ...

We may earn commission if you buy from a link. Why Trust Us? Until now, cells dividing by mitosis were thought to grow round and then split into two identical, spherical daughter cells.

A recent study marks the first reported instance of generative AI designing synthetic molecules that can successfully control gene expression in healthy mammalian cells. As a proof-of-concept ...
