atomic structure, and his own digital creations. What makes MRK’s images so compelling is the way they make cell biology seem less abstract. Instead of brightly colored diagrams, we get sweeping ...

The cell is the structural and functional unit of living organisms. It was discovered by Robert Hooke in 1665. Cell in Latin means “little room”. Many organisms, such as bacteria, protozoa and ...

A cell structure has been discovered that could help scientists understand why some cancers develop. For the first time, a structure called 'the mesh' has been identified which helps to hold ...

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 ...

Table 1 below provides an overview of the key features of a prokaryotic cell: Table 1. The structure and function of key prokaryotic cell structures. Prokaryotes have ribosomes but they are smaller ...

Although entotic cell-in-cell structure is similar to that of cannibalism or phagocytosis, homotypic entosis is a process in which a living tumor cell invades intactly into a neighboring cell of ...
