New research from Professor Guillermo Ameer’s team shows how a shape change of a cell’s nucleus can trigger regenerative signals and improve implant performance.

In biology textbooks and beyond, the human genome and DNA therein typically are taught in only one dimension. While it can be ...

Mitochondria are cell organelles surrounded by a double membrane. In addition to numerous essential functions in the ...

By using a genetic technique developed at UT Southwestern Medical Center that forces cells to rid themselves of mitochondria, ...

Modern-day environments in Antarctica contain ponds filled with life forms that closely resemble early multicellular ...

The eukaryotic cell, the most significant increase in complexity in the history of life's evolution on Earth, emerged as a phase transition and unlocked the path toward other major transitions ...

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.

A decade ago, the existence of Asgard archaea was unknown. However, in 2015, researchers analyzing deep-sea sediments uncovered gene fragments that suggested the presence of a new, previously ...

Inside a eukaryotic cell are self-contained, membrane-bound bundles that perform special functions, called organelles. All eukaryotic cells — animal, plant, fungus or protist — have a nucleus that ...

Plant and animal cells are both extremely important to the survival of millions of species and without them, life couldn’t ...

That, to him, argues against a gradual evolution of the eukaryotic cell. In fact, some evidence suggests that key eukaryotic features were acquired all at once, rather than gradually.

Some cells have membrane-bound organelles and some do not. Depending upon the internal structure of the cell, two types of cells are found in an organism namely Eukaryotic and Prokaryotic.
