What is a prokaryotic cell? Prokaryotes are small, single-celled organisms with a simple structure. Unlike other cells, they don’t have a nucleus or other membrane-bound organelles. Instead, most ...

A detailed map of thousands of neurons in the mouse brain was created by a team of researchers from the Allen Institute, Baylor College of Medicine, and Princeton University. This wiring diagram ...

Structure of eukaryotic cells Eukaryotic cells generally contain several membrane-bound organelles, including the nucleus, mitochondria, the ER, the Golgi apparatus and lysosomes (Figure 1). Plant ...

The method the researchers used, known as Multi-Scale Integrated Cell (MuSIC), is described in Nature, in the paper, “ A multi-scale map of cell structure fusing protein images and interactions. ” ...

Cells are transferred onto scaffold surface. (B) Cells of the first layer (green) were seeded on the transfer substrate and cultured.

How does the collective interplay of many individual cells give rise to a perfectly shaped organism? This question lies at ...

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 ...
