Cells are constantly on the move, whether in a developing embryo or metastatic cancer. But how do cells adapt to the new ...

A complex molecular machine, the spliceosome, ensures that the genetic information from the genome, after being transcribed into mRNA precursors, is correctly assembled into mature mRNA. Splicing is a ...

Filopodia help cells move but also aid cancer spread. Scientists have revealed how fascin proteins build these structures, ...

Every living organism falls into one of two groups: eukaryotes or prokaryotes, with cellular structure determining which group an organism belongs to. Prokaryotes are unicellular and lack a nucleus ...

Cilia are outgrowths of the plasma membrane of eukaryotic cells that contain a specialised cytoskeleton. Motile cilia are present on multiciliated cells and use this cytoskeleton to move fluid ...

Recently, with the development of detection technologies, 6 mA has been found in several eukaryotes, including protozoans, metazoans, plants, and fungi. The importance of 6 mA in prokaryotes and ...

Eukaryotic cells undergo two styles of cell division ... mechanisms as in bacterial cells in which chromosome segregation is driven by actin-like cytoskeleton. It is also possible that the segregation ...

Transport of fluids, molecules, nutrients or nanoparticles through coral tissues are poorly documented. Here, we followed the flow of various tracers from the external seawater to within the cells of ...

Cells can use a process known as macropinocytosis to take up fluid from their surroundings. This process plays an important role in many situations. For example, it allows human immune cells to sample ...
