Instead, fungi absorb nutrients from their environment. Examples include yeast cells, used in baking and fermentation and hyphal cells, which form the thread-like structures in fungi. Animal cells ...

It is geometry. L. olor’s behavior is encoded in its cytoskeletal structure, just like human behavior is encoded in neural circuits. “This is the first example of cellular origami,” Prakash ...

For example, OPA1 helps maintain the architecture ... Aydin and his research group first separated OPA1 from cells and studied it in vitro to understand its atomic structure, which was no easy feat.

Now, a fourth example has been found ... colleagues have now shown that this bacterium has evolved into a new cellular structure, or organelle. It is the first known nitrogen-fixing organelle ...

Structure of a volume-regulated anion channel Although discovered only five years ago, important properties of these cellular valves have already been described. For example, it is known that ...

One cell ended up inside the other and evolved ... mitochondrion—and its potential to spawn new membrane structures. Take, for example, the compartment that Speijer thinks evolved early in ...
