Researchers say understanding how Zika virus spreads through the human placenta and reaches the fetus is critical to prevent or control the infection.

BACKGROUND: Circular RNAs derived from both nuclear and mitochondrial genomes are identified in animal cells.

Scientists have discovered a remarkable new form of symbiosis — a bacterium that lives inside a single-celled organism (a ...

Mitochondria are essential for generating energy that fuels cells and helps them function. Mitochondrial defects, however, are associated with the development of diseases such as type 2 diabetes.

Using a photonic network interface, they successfully linked two separate quantum processors to form a single, fully connected quantum computer, paving the way to tackling computational challenges ...

The Science Illustration Internship is a full-time program (40 hours/week) for nine weeks (with a possible 10th week, if needed for any certifications), from June 2nd - August 1st, 2025 (Please note ...

The illustration, based on his own dissections, was just one of Swammerdam’s firsts. In 1658, he was also the first to see and describe red blood cells. Since no one had previously reported ...

Most animal, plant and fungal cells contain organelles called mitochondria. These descendants of a primordial bacterial endosymbiont still preserve distinct genes and are known for their ability to ...

Mitochondria organelles came from primordial bacterial endosymbionts and still preserve distinct genes for important functions like making ATP. To speed the emerging therapeutic research into the ...

The illustration shows DNA being folded into a loop by an SMC motor called cohesin (in purple/blue). The purple part of the motor (with a red/green label) is the protein subunit NIPBL, which acts as a ...
