This wiring diagram contains 200,000 brain cells and nearly 500 million synapses that sit in a chunk of the visual cortex of the mouse brain that's about the size of one grain of sand. This map has an ...

There are characteristic differences in the nuclear architectures of cancer cells, compared with normal cells, and some anticancer treatments restore normal nuclear structure and function.

The hippocampus is an important brain region known to support various cognitive (i.e., mental) processes, including the ...

Prokaryotes are unicellular organisms that lack membrane-bound structures. This article details the structure of prokaryotic cells and provides examples of prokaryotic organisms.

What makes MRK’s images so compelling is the way they make cell biology seem less abstract. Instead of brightly colored diagrams, we get sweeping vistas of the cell and components that look very ...

Eukaryotic cells form the foundation of complex life, their defining feature being the presence of membrane-bound organelles. This article details the structure of eukaryotic cells and provides ...

In a leap forward for genetic and biomedical research, two scientists at the University of Missouri have developed a powerful new artificial intelligence tool that can predict the 3D shape of ...

How does the collective interaction of many individual cells create a perfectly formed organism? This question is the focus of a new study.

Lkb1 regulates cell polarity through downstream kinases including AMPKs, MARKs and BRSKs, and nutrient utilization and cellular metabolism through the AMPK–mTOR pathway.

The study reveals that Migrion, a chimeric structure of virus and migrasome as an unprecedented unit of viral transmission ...

Controlling "mixing" between acceptor and donor layers, or domains, in polymer-based solar cells could increase their efficiency, according to a team of researchers.
