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 ...

This engineered genome will help experts tailor organisms to fit the needs of their ever-changing environments.

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

Eukaryotic microorganisms, or protists, are essential ecological agents that populate various environments like aquatic and ...

A complex molecular machine, the spliceosome, ensures that the genetic information from the genome, after being transcribed ...

Feb. 4, 2025 — Research has shown that a potential new targeted therapy for childhood brain cancer is effective in infiltrating and killing tumor cells in preclinical models tested in mice.

Recognition of specific antigen through the B-cell receptor (BCR) stimulates the activation of B cells, which ultimately results in the production of high-affinity antibodies and the provision of ...

Cancer stem cells are rare immortal cells within a tumour that can both self-renew by dividing and give rise to many cell types that constitute the tumour, and can therefore form tumours.

Many cells in multicellular organisms are specialised. They have specific roles in the organism of which they are part. Their structure is adapted to their function. They are often grouped ...
