Piercing the nucleus of a cell without destroying it seems like a technical feat. Yet, researchers have just found a non-invasive method that could revolutionize gene therapies. A series of ...

To uncover what drives sexual behavior in animals, researchers studied the brain activity of male mice throughout the series of actions involved in sex leading up to ejaculation. Their results ...

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 ...

One hypothesis is that the DNA loops could determine which genes are switched on in the cell. Inside a nucleus, chromosomes jumble together like a game of Twister. This can bring regulatory elements, ...

During cell division, mitosis refers specifically to the separation of the duplicated genetic material carried in the nucleus. Mitosis is conventionally divided into five stages known as prophase ...

It diffuses into the nucleus, where the genome resides, through large pores. There, enzymes break down the metabolites into epigenetic marks known as acetyl groups and place them on histones to ...

It begins with observing onion cells, highlighting their components such as the cell wall, nucleus, and vacuoles. Staining techniques reveal the protoplasm, which is essential for life.

Each component of a cell has its own function. Animal and plant cells differ and they have similarities. Nucleus, cell membrane, cytoplasm and mitochondria are four cell components that are found ...

"Part of their genome is encoded in their own small genome but also essential parts are encoded in the nucleus" of the surrounding cell, says Coale. But in this case, the process led to the ...
