Plant cells have several structures not found in other eukaryotes. In particular, organelles called chloroplasts allow plants to capture the energy of the Sun in energy-rich molecules; cell walls ...

RNA molecules are short-lived and fragile, constantly under threat from enzymes that degrade them. Unlike the more stable ...

Long known as a messenger within cells, RNA is increasingly seen as life’s molecular communication system—even between ...

along with larger plant organs. The mutant plants also formed a larger number of bubble-like vesicles in the cell’s gelatinous cytoplasm. “The mutant had significant and quite pronounced ...

The team investigated extracellular vesicles in various model systems, including neural progenitor cells, neurons, astrocytes, brain organoids, and patterned spheroids, each derived from ...

Homotypic fusion between late endosomes. (A) Time-lapse imaging of endocytic vesicles in VE cells. (B) By labeling of VE cells with FM1-43, the fusion process of the cell membranes in zone 2 was ...

Eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells produce minute (40-1000 nm) membrane vesicles that are released into the local environment. These extracellular vesicles (EVs), including exosomes and microvesicles, ...

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 ...

For 50 years now, camera company Nikon has been highlighting microscopic marvels with the annual Nikon Small World ...
