Biological cells often possess thin, hair-like protrusions on their surface known as cilia, which serve various functions ranging from movement to sensing environmental signals. Researchers from ...

Who were our earliest ancestors? The answer could lie in a special group of single-celled organisms with a cytoskeleton similar to that of complex organisms, such as animals and plants.

In a groundbreaking study on the synthesis of cellulose—a major constituent of all plant cell walls—a team of Rutgers University-New Brunswick researchers have captured images of the microscopic ...

Researchers have found that some cells form new multicellular structures with functions that defy their original biological ...

A new part of an ocean plant cell has been discovered that might revolutionize farming one day. The structure can take ...

She uses the technique of RNA origami, which is based on the idea that genetic information—the blueprint for the cell ...

"Our research shows a surprising role for stellate cells in the normal liver, where they act like 'secret bosses,' organizing its structure and instructing the work of other cells that perform the ...

Through various experiments, scientists found that the proteasome can also detect bacterial infections within a cell. It then responds by altering its structure and function, transforming old ...
