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 ...

The first high-resolution, three dimensional (3D) visualization of a complete eukaryotic cell has been revealed. The striking images, which thankfully do not need to be viewed using 3D glasses ...

Recently, a research group led by Prof. Miao Wei from the Institute of Hydrobiology (IHB) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences ...

RNA molecules are short-lived and fragile, constantly under threat from enzymes that degrade them. Unlike the more stable ...

Recently, a research group led by Prof. MIAO Wei from the Institute of Hydrobiology (IHB) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences discovered that Lacrymaria cells utilize unconventional and novel ...

including not only the cell-nuclear genome but also intracellular organelles. Eukaryotic cells contain at least three types of double membrane-bounded organelles (cell nucleus, mitochondria and ...

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 ...

According to microbiologist Susanne Erdmann, RNA can morph into different forms, acting as an enzyme, latching onto DNA, and ...

present in modern eukaryotic cells. Other microbes had cell walls made of bound fibers, similarly suggestive of the presence ...
