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 ...

For the first time, researchers have found one of the most important molecular machines in our cells uses a ‘twisting elevator’ mechanism, solving a mystery of how it transports crucial chemical ...

Researchers analyzed the epigenetic and transcriptional regulation in structural cells. They found widespread activity of immune genes, suggesting that structural cells are deeply involved in the body ...

Cells are the building blocks of all living organisms. Test your knowledge of the structure of cells in preparation for your National 5 Biology exam. Looking for more cell structure revision? There is ...

In an effort to reveal the inner workings of a protein that serves as a cell's damage detection system, scientists at Johns ...

The basic building blocks of all living things are cells. The body of humans is made up of trillions of cells. Plants and animals are made up of cells. They are considered as the basic units of life.
