An international collaboration between four scientists from Mainz, Valencia, Madrid, and Zurich has published new research in ...

Allison McClure, Ph.D., is an assistant professor in the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Genetics at the CU School ...

Neurons are cells in the body that are responsible for transmitting electrical signals through the nervous system. Different types of neurons affect the ability to move, which begins as an impulse, or ...

Eukaryotic cells generally contain several membrane-bound organelles, including the nucleus, mitochondria, the ER, the Golgi apparatus and lysosomes (Figure 1). Plant cells also contain large vacuoles ...

Unravelling the biochemistry of parasite-containing vacuole maturation is, therefore, of great interest to cell biologists. New approaches include genetic studies, advanced technologies such as ...

This was a mighty challenge. The cells kept dying. Paleontologist Kyoko Hagino of Kochi University tried for twelve years until she finally cracked it with a cousin of the original organism.

N-terminal myristoylation (N-myristoylation) is a widespread post-translational modification in eukaryotic cells, involving the covalent attachment of myristic acid (C14:0) to the N-terminal glycine ...

In this study, the authors use the zebrafish to investigate how the microbiome affects a specialized gut cell called the lysosome rich enterocyte. They use a combination of functional assays for ...

highlighting their components such as the cell wall, nucleus, and vacuoles. Staining techniques reveal the protoplasm, which is essential for life. The film discusses the differences in cell types ...
