Unlike their simpler prokaryotic counterparts, eukaryotic cells boast a complex internal architecture. This complexity stems ...

All modern multicellular life — all life that any of us regularly see — is made of cells with a knack for compartmentalization. Recent discoveries are revealing how the first eukaryote got its start.

In the beginning, there was boredom. Following the emergence of cellular life on earth, some 3.5 billion years ago, simple cells lacking a nucleus and other detailed internal structure dominated the ...

A research team from the Faculty of Science, Charles University in Prague has discovered Solarion arienae, an extremely rare ...

This study provides novel insights into the elongation dynamics of eukaryotic cells and the counteracting mechanisms in place to reduce translation defects during protein synthesis. "Understanding the ...

Prokaryotes are ancient, simple forms of life that include bacteria and archaea. These cellular life forms lack membrane-bound organelles. Those organelles, which include the nucleus and the ...

Janelia researchers have uncovered a novel way that two of the structures inside cells-the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and lysosomes-coordinate the production of proteins, highlighting how interactions ...

“Although the CVC inventors developed a system on 1 March 2012 that they hoped would work in eukaryotic cells, the preponderance of the evidence demonstrates that they did not have a definite and ...
