In the vast and often unseen world of microscopic life, a recent discovery may force scientists to rethink what it means to ...

By using a genetic technique developed at UT Southwestern Medical Center that forces cells to rid themselves of mitochondria, researchers are gaining new insights into the function of these critical ...

So much science starts with deciphering a genome, the blueprint for every being on Earth. With such roadmaps in hand, ...

Since 2009, the maximum efficiency of perovskite solar cells has risen from 3.9% to 30.1% —it took 37 years for crystalline silicon solar cells to achieve comparable efficiencies.

In eukaryotic cells, the increase in Cdk activity that initiates S phase has an additional function in preventing re‐replication during S, G2 and M phases. The importance of this mechanism follows ...

The eukaryotic cell, the most significant increase in complexity in the history of life's evolution on Earth, emerged as a phase transition and unlocked the path toward other major transitions ...

What is a eukaryote? A eukaryote is any cell or organism that possesses a clearly defined nucleus. Eukaryotic cells form the foundation of complex, multicellular life, including apple trees, mushrooms ...

These are among the oldest known fossils of eukaryotic cells, estimated to be between 1.4 billion and 1.65 billion years old. Left: A variety of fossils from the Limbunya Group in Northern Territory, ...

Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic Cells: The cell is the basic unit of life and forms the building blocks of all living organisms. It was discovered by Robert Hooke In 1665.

On the other hand, all humans, animals, plants, fungi and protists are made up of eukaryotic cells. And though some eukaryotes are single-celled — think amoebas and paramecium — there are no ...
