Long overlooked in the field of musculoskeletal study, the tendon is a highly complex anatomical structure that triggers a ...

Scientists have discovered a mysterious new structure lurking inside every human cell. These tiny structures, dubbed ...

Eukaryotes are thought to have originated through a process known as endosymbiosis, in which an ancestral prokaryotic cell engulfed another, forming a mutually beneficial relationship. Over time, the ...

The research suggests that the hemifusome helps in how cells package and process materials. When this process goes awry, it could contribute to diseases that affect various systems in the body.

The glycocalyx surrounds each cell in the human body like a coat. This complex sugar layer plays a key role in the ...

While prokaryotic cells do not have membrane-bound structures, they do have distinct cellular regions (Figure 1). In prokaryotic cells, DNA bundles together in a region called the nucleoid. Primitive ...

Cell division in bacteria, the process that allows a single bacterial cell to divide into two, is regulated by the FtsZ ...

The cell nucleus is considered to be the control center of vital cellular processes, but its material properties continue to puzzle scientists. An international research team has now developed a ...

Scientists uncover how the nucleolus, a tiny structure within cells, may control aging and lifespan, opening new possibilities for age-related treatments ...

Bacterial cell division, a process wherein a single cell divides to form two identical daughter cells, represents one of the ...
