Nuclear magnetic resonance measurement and state-of-the-art computational science reveal protein structures in higher eukaryotic cells. Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have successfully ...

A eukaryotic cell (left) has membrane-enclosed DNA, which forms a structure called the nucleus (located at center of the eukaryotic cell; note the purple DNA enclosed in the pink nucleus). A typical ...

Scientists can peer into cells to get a limited view of their activity using microscopes and other tools. However, cells and ...

Cilia are evolutionarily conserved, microtubule-based organelles that project from the surface of most eukaryotic cells and play a central role in sensing ...

Organelles are small, specialized structures in cells which operate like organs by carrying out specific tasks. The presence of a defined nucleus distinguishes a eukaryotic from prokaryotic cell. It ...

Across all species, directed movement is essential for nutrient acquisition, energy harvesting, and the avoidance of danger or sources of stress. Organisms have evolved specific means of locomotion ...
