All ribosomes (in both eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells) are made of two subunits — one larger and one smaller. In eukaryotes, these pieces are identified by scientists as the 60-S and 40-S ...

Eukaryotic cells are more complex than prokaryotic ones because of specialized organelles. Learn how ancient collaborations between cells gave eukaryotes an important energy boost.

Almost all eukaryotic organisms, from plants and animals to fungi, can't survive without mitochondria -- the "powerhouses of the cell," which generate chemical energy using oxygen. However, a new ...

Divergent eukaryotic pathogens use common host-targeting signals in both animal and plant hosts. The first identification of a eukaryotic pathogen host-targeting signal was made in the human ...
