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

Thanks to cryo-electron tomography, a state-of-the-art imaging technique that flash-freezes cells to capture them in 3D with near-atomic resolution, scientists were able to observe the hemifusome.

Learn about the ultrastructure and organelles of animal, plant, fungal and bacterial cells. BBC Bitesize Scotland revision for SQA National 5 Biology.

Structure of eukaryotic cells Eukaryotic cells generally contain several membrane-bound organelles, including the nucleus, mitochondria, the ER, the Golgi apparatus and lysosomes (Figure 1). Plant ...

Every cell contains millions of protein molecules. Some of them have the ability to phase-separate to form non-membrane-bound compartments, called biomolecular condensates, inside a cell. It has long ...

Eukaryotes and prokaryotes Bacteria are amongst the simplest of organisms – they are made of single cells. Their cell structure is simpler than the cells of animals, plants and fungi.

The Cell structure and organelles differ in plants and animals and are mainly categorized based on their function. The variation in cell composition is the reason for the difference between plant ...

Novoheart Ltd. is the first in the world to use stem cells to grow miniature human heart-like valves and wants to use them to test new drugs — technology that may lead to fewer animals being ...
