Biological cells often possess thin, hair-like protrusions on their surface known as cilia, which serve various functions ranging from movement to sensing environmental signals. Researchers from ...

Who were our earliest ancestors? The answer could lie in a special group of single-celled organisms with a cytoskeleton similar to that of complex organisms, such as animals and plants.

In a groundbreaking study on the synthesis of cellulose—a major constituent of all plant cell walls—a team of Rutgers University-New Brunswick researchers have captured images of the microscopic ...

Ten years ago, nobody knew that Asgard archaea even existed. In 2015, however, researchers examining deep-sea sediments ...

Death is inevitable for almost all organisms, but avoiding a sticky end is easier for some that happen to be insanely hard to kill.

The first, an enzymatic biofuel cell (EBFC), provides power for the ... coli from other bacteria like Staphylococcus aureus and Salmonella. It was also found to remain functional over multiple ...

Salmonella. This type of bacteria causes over 1 million infections and more than 25,000 hospitalizations in the U.S. per year. In the 1970s, scientists used HeLa cells to how Salmonella infects ...

specific regions of DNA that are activated in cancer cells and contribute to the cancer progression, and also interacts with CTCF, a known tumor-suppressor protein that regulates the structure of ...

Recently, several recent studies have shown that RNA methylation is closely related to cancer cell aging. 8-Oxoguanine (o 8 G) is an important and widely distributed methylation modification whose ...
