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 ...

Protein synthesis is vital for life, translating genetic information from DNA to functional proteins through transcription ...

The first high-resolution, three dimensional (3D) visualization of a complete eukaryotic cell has been revealed. The striking images, which thankfully do not need to be viewed using 3D glasses ...

Daniel Mills, Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München During this time, some of the defining characteristics of modern eukaryotic cells—the nucleus, mitochondria, cytoskeleton, cell membrane, and ...

Eukaryotic cell DNA in a nucleus, plasmids are found in a few simple eukaryotic organisms. Prokaryotic cell DNA is a single molecule, found free in the cytoplasm; additional DNA is found on one or ...

Mitosis orchestrates eukaryotic cell division, maintaining genetic fidelity and playing a key role in development, tissue homeostasis, and cancer progression.

Thanks to mitochondria, eukaryotic ancestors had enough energy to develop into the more complex eukaryotic cells known today. The primary distinction between these two types of organisms is that ...

The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is a crucial organelle present in all eukaryotic cells, including human cells. The ER plays a ...

In biology textbooks, the endoplasmic reticulum is often portrayed as a distinct, compact organelle near the nucleus, and is commonly known to be ...
