Lab grown models of embryos, made from clusters of stem cells, are getting increasingly complex. Ethicists, regulators and ...

What is a eukaryote? A eukaryote is any cell or organism that possesses a clearly defined nucleus. Eukaryotic cells form the foundation of complex, multicellular life, including apple trees, mushrooms ...

This fluorescence image shows chloroplasts (magenta colored) successfully incorporated into the hamster cells, with other features of the animal cell also highlighted (nuclei in light blue and ...

Animal and plant cells have different energy-producing structures inside them. For animals, that’s mitochondria, which convert chemical energy from food into a form that our cells can use.

Those need a scaffold, or structure for the cells to grow on, which can be vegetable-based or made of animal products like collagen. IS IT REALLY MEAT?

It then builds new structures that strongly resemble the nuclei found in animal, human and plant cells. The nucleus is the genetic control centre of a cell of such a “higher” lifeform but has ...

Dysfunctions of the tiny cell processes (primary cilia*) of the pancreatic beta cells could be a cause of type 2 diabetes. Little is known about the structure and function of these cilia. An ...

Watching the movement of every cell in an adult animal all at once, researchers discovered ultra-fast cellular contractions. This research suggests a new role for cellular contractions in tissue ...
