Two molecular control factors play a decisive role in what is known as splicing, the cutting and assembly of mature messenger ...

Piercing the nucleus of a cell without destroying it seems like a technical feat. Yet, researchers have just found a non-invasive method that could revolutionize gene therapies. A series of ...

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

Each component of a cell has its own function. Animal and plant cells differ and they have similarities. Nucleus, cell membrane, cytoplasm and mitochondria are four cell components that are found ...

In addition to the nucleus, eukaryotic cells may contain several other types of organelles, which may include mitochondria, chloroplasts, the endoplasmic reticulum, the Golgi apparatus ...

It begins with observing onion cells, highlighting their components such as the cell wall, nucleus, and vacuoles. Staining techniques reveal the protoplasm, which is essential for life.

One hypothesis is that the DNA loops could determine which genes are switched on in the cell. Inside a nucleus, chromosomes jumble together like a game of Twister. This can bring regulatory elements, ...

During cell division, mitosis refers specifically to the separation of the duplicated genetic material carried in the nucleus. Mitosis is conventionally divided into five stages known as prophase ...
