In addition to the nucleus, eukaryotic cells may contain several other types of organelles, which may include mitochondria, chloroplasts, the endoplasmic reticulum, the Golgi apparatus, and ...

A team of Chinese researchers has developed two new genome editing technologies, known collectively as Programmable ...

Structure of eukaryotic cells Eukaryotic cells generally contain several membrane-bound organelles, including the nucleus, mitochondria, the ER, the Golgi apparatus and lysosomes (Figure 1). Plant ...

Crucial Evolutionary Link Points To Origins Of Modern Cells Date: November 11, 2004 Source: Rockefeller University Summary: A team of researchers led by Rockefeller University's Michael P. Rout ...

A new idea about the origin of complex life turns current theories inside out. Scientists explain their 'inside-out' theory of how eukaryotic cells, which all multicellular life -- including us ...

The eukaryotic cell was born. Despite their exotic name, eukaryotic cells are intimately familiar to humans. As the building blocks of most animals and plants, these cells have evolved into complex ...

How Do Cells Move? Cytoskeletal filaments provide the basis for cell movement. For instance, cilia and (eukaryotic) flagella move as a result of microtubules sliding along each other.

Cells of all higher, or eukaryotic, species move in response to external stimuli. This movement is made possible by a series of inter-related biochemical reactions, some of which remodel the ...
