Scientists found molecular evidence supporting the idea that chloroplasts originated as energy-generating organelles and only later evolved to support carbon assimilation in plant cells.
Scientific consensus is that this happened twice over the course of evolution, resulting in the energy-generating organelles ... functions the cyanobacteria originally performed for the cells ...
Within minutes of fertilization, the egg of a fruit fly becomes a scene from the battle of the sexes. The egg attacks and destroys the cellular “power plants,” or mitochondria, from the sperm that had ...
The last few years have provided us with a new level of understanding of how chromosomes are replicated, segregated and read - and how their 3D organisation influences expression of individual genes ...
In nondividing cells, microtubule networks radiate out from the centrosome to provide the basic organization of the cytoplasm, including the positioning of organelles. The protein actin is ...
whether that's within or outside of the cell. It's a core function, but little studied in the setting of cancer immunology, especially when compared to other organelles like the mitochondria or ...
In most animal, plant and fungal cells DNA is stored in the nucleus coiled up in thread-like structures called chromosomes. The nucleus of one of your skin cells contains about two metres of DNA ...
