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 ...

Most cell signals are chemical in nature. For example, prokaryotic organisms have sensors that detect nutrients and help them navigate toward food sources. In multicellular organisms, growth ...

July 12, 2024 — Researchers have found that two of the most frequently administered stem cell therapies, which are often used interchangeably, actually contain completely different types of ...

More than half of your body is not human, say scientists. Human cells make up only 43% of the body's total cell count. The rest are microscopic colonists. Understanding this hidden half of ...

These 800,000 lab-grown brain cells can play a 1970s video game, albeit badly Researchers have grown brain cells in a lab that have learned to play the 1970s tennis-like video game, Pong.

Researchers discover how proteins behave inside cells using AI, which has the potential to guide drug design. Scientists at the University of Cambridge have developed an atlas of proteins ...

According to many experts, we may soon find ourselves using fuel cells to generate electrical power for all sorts of objects we use every day. A fuel cell is a device that uses a source of fuel ...

Here’s how it works. It feels like the Splinter Cell remake has been on its way for a decent while now, which isn't helped by the fact it's been over two years since we heard anything official ...

In the beginning, one cell becomes two, and two become four. Being fruitful, they multiply into a ball of many cells, a shimmering sphere of human potential. Scientists have long dreamed of ...

Cells are the smallest unit of life and the building blocks for all organisms. Each component of a cell has its own function. Animal and plant cells differ and they have similarities. Nucleus ...

A solar cell is made of two types of semiconductors, called p-type and n-type silicon. The p-type silicon is produced by adding atoms—such as boron or gallium—that have one less electron in their ...
