Cholesterol molecules, although less abundant than glycerophospholipids, account for about 20 percent of the lipids in animal cell plasma ... reticulum (ER), the nuclear membrane, the Golgi ...

The breakdown of the nuclear membrane is an essential step for spindle assembly. Because the centrosomes are located outside the nucleus in animal cells, the microtubules of the developing spindle ...

Energy-making chloroplasts from algae have been inserted into hamster cells, enabling the cells to photosynthesize light, ...

Each component of a cell has its own function. Animal and plant cells differ and they have similarities. Nucleus, cell membrane, cytoplasm and mitochondria are four cell components that are found ...

Importantly, these imported chloroplasts displayed activity for two further days, during which time their host cells grew at an accelerated rate. This indicates that photosynthesis was indeed ...

A study led by postdoctoral researcher Yanan Ma from the lab of cell biologist Philipp Niethammer shows why diversity also matters in model animal research ... The yellow brick road to nuclear ...

Researchers have uncovered a mechanism that may trigger ALS’s earliest stages, identifying proteins that mislocalize, causing ...

A new approach to elucidate the operation and control of Polymer Electrolyte Membrane (PEM) fuel cells is being developed. A global reactor engineering approach is applied to PEM fuel cells to ...

Further experiments with motor neurons created from ALS-patient-derived induced pluripotent stem cells ... in its nuclear ...

Approximately 5,000 people in the U.S. develop amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) each year. On average, they survive for only two to five years after being diagnosed, according to the Centers for ...
