A team led by UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers has uncovered the atomic structure of a protein complex pivotal to ...

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 vistas of the cell and components that look very ...

It's no coincidence that our bodies feel a little creakier as we age. The trillions of cells that make up our skeleton age too, and some change in ways that weaken the very structure of our bones.

To extend and apply their improved models challenge learners to create a totally new model to illustrate and communicate the dynamic nature and function of the cell as illustrated in the narrative.

A new structure in human cells has been discovered. The structure is a new type of protein complex that the cell uses to attach to its surroundings and proves to play a key part in cell division.

Yale researchers and their colleagues in Hungary have discovered that cells in the hypothalamus — an area of the brain that controls functions like hunger and body temperature — play a major role in ...

Find out how vesicles function in the body and what the five main types of vesicle are. We also discuss how vesicles interact with other cells and pathogens.

This information can help understand the function of the human cell equivalent of SPBs called centrosomes. Cancer cells in most forms of cancer reveal abnormalities in the size or structure of ...

The 3D brain map includes more than 200,000 cells, 523 million synapses and over two miles of axons, representing the most detailed wiring diagram of a piece of mammal brain ever constructed ...

Only cardiac muscle tissue, comprising cells called myocytes, is present in the heart. In this article, we discuss the structure and function of cardiac muscle tissue.
