Scientists are trying to reach out to the general public to help people understand more about the work that researchers do. A team at the Wyss Institute at Harvard wanted to bring science education to ...

A novel mechanism of RNA regulation in embryonic stem cells has been discovered by scientists. They present strong evidence that a specific chemical modification or 'tag' on RNA plays a key role in ...

Cells are the building blocks of all living organisms. Test your knowledge of the structure of cells in preparation for your National 5 Biology exam. Looking for more cell structure revision? There is ...

A cell structure has been discovered that could help scientists understand why some cancers develop. For the first time, a structure called 'the mesh' has been identified which helps to hold together ...

This protocol is an extension to: Nat. Protoc. 10, 1643–1669 (2015); doi:10.1038/nprot.2015.103; published online 01 October 2015 RNAs play key roles in many ...

The cell is the structural and functional unit of living organisms. It was discovered by Robert Hooke in 1665. Cell in Latin means “little room”. Many organisms, such as bacteria, protozoa and yeasts ...

All living organisms are made up of cells. It is the basic, structural, and functional unit of life. Also, it is known as "Building blocks of life". Cell biology is the study of cells. It consists of ...

A eukaryote is any cell or organism that possesses a clearly defined nucleus. Eukaryotic cells form the foundation of complex, multicellular life, including apple trees, mushrooms, fish and humans.

While prokaryotic cells do not have membrane-bound structures, they do have distinct cellular regions (Figure 1). In prokaryotic cells, DNA bundles together in a region called the nucleoid. Primitive ...

A team of scientists that included researchers from UCLA has discovered a novel mechanism of RNA regulation in embryonic stem cells. The findings are strong evidence that a specific chemical ...
