Researchers discover how mitochondria not only produce energy but also influence inflammation.

Kidney cells can make memories too. At least, in a metaphorical sense. Neurons have historically been the cell most associated with memory. But far outside the brain, kidney cells can also store ...

Specialized cells help to create a nurturing environment in which tumour-fighting immune cells can thrive and work to ...

Plant reproduction is a cornerstone of our food system and ecological balance; however, it is a complex process. Plants have ...

Agriculture stands as the foundational sector tasked with the critical role of meeting the escalating food demands triggered ...

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 about the game.

You probably learned about organelles, those little “organs” inside cells that form compartments with individual functions. For example, mitochondria produce energy, lysosomes recycle waste ...

Aside from being seem as "alien" material, the chloroplasts themselves struggle to function in the environment of an animal cell. "Almost all algae and plant species photosynthesize under 30 ...

the similarities and differences between animal cells and plant cells, then we will learn how to build a plant cell model and an animal cell model. This helps students visualize the parts of the cell ...

Animal and plant cells have different energy-producing structures inside them. For animals, that’s mitochondria , which convert chemical energy from food into a form that our cells can use.

A new method developed by Penn State biologists allows them to turn stripped-down plant cells into other types of cells, similar to the way stem cells differentiate into different cell types.

Stem cells are specialized cells that have the potential to develop into not one but many different types of cell. They are unlike any other cell for three specific reasons: They are unspecialized, ...
