The functions of biomolecules, including lipids, nucleic acids and especially proteins are determined to a great extent by their structure. This structure–function relationship is a foundation of many ...

Bistratified Ganglion Cells: These cells have dendrites that stratify in two distinct layers of the IPL. They are involved in color vision, specifically processing blue-yellow signals, and project to ...

A new study shows that ARPC5 mutations weaken immune cell structure, disrupting microbiome control and causing severe ...

The table below list organelles, their function and the types of cell that they can be found in. Can you fill in the blanks to complete the table? Cell structure Description Function Cell type Cell ...

- Muscle cells, also known as myocytes, are specialized cells designed for contraction and force production. Skeletal Muscle Cells: These cells are long, cylindrical, and have a striated (or striped) ...

Imaging live cells is key to reveal their inner workings, dynamics, and function. Current technological advances in confocal imaging can benefit from novel fluorescence labeling strategies and ...

Before pinpointing the most highlighted structure, let's first dissect the intricate architecture of a skeletal muscle fiber.

Proteoglycans are ubiquitous molecules that function as critical components of the extracellular matrix. These proteins are composed of glycosaminoglycan chains that are covalently attached to a ...

An essential component of the lymphatic system, the thymus, a pyramid-shaped organ located in the thoracic cavity, is responsible for producing T-cells. For centuries, the thymus was believed to be an ...

What does it take to be a super athlete? Take a close-up look at cells, tissues, and organs to see if their biology gives them an advantage.

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.
