For example, the cell membrane is not directly visible, while the nucleus can be inferred by the stained DNA found in that organelle. Have students compare the photos with diagrams of the cytoskeleton ...

New research sheds light on one of the biggest questions in biology: where did complex life come from? The answer may lie ...

A research team has developed a groundbreaking deep learning-based method for analyzing the cytoskeleton -- the structural framework inside cells -- more accurately and efficiently than ever before.

Just like your body has a skeleton, every cell in your body has a skeleton—a cytoskeleton to be precise. This provides cells with mechanical resilience, as well as assisting with cell division.

With the long-term goal of creating living cells from non-living components, scientists in the field of synthetic biology work with RNA origami. This tool uses the multifunctionality of the natural ...

Scientists reveal the role of hidden microbes called Asgard archaea in the origins of complex life, challenging long-held ...

Who were our earliest ancestors? The answer could lie in a special group of single-celled organisms with a cytoskeleton ...

In 2015, researchers examining deep-sea sediments near the underwater volcano Loki discovered gene fragments indicating a new ...
