Our knowledge of the structure of the cytoplasm has grown with the advent of advanced techniques and equipment that have allowed us to study cellular components. Over the past 150 years, such advances ...
How do genes control us? This fundamental question still remains elusive despite decades of research. Genes are blueprints for proteins, but it is the proteins that actually carry out vital functions.
Small protein molecules almost do not experience the cytoplasm viscosity while moving within the cell. Scientists have now shown that the effect can be described universally to include ...
This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract Cultured fibroblasts or epithelial cells derived from Xenopus laevis embryos were directly frozen, freeze-substituted by an improved method, ...
Many enzymes that are active in the cytoplasm generate force, as is the case with molecular motors that transport cargo. Enzymes acting in concert can drive whole-cell processes such as migration. The ...
Over the past decade, there have been scattered reports of mammalian cells’ own DNA being found in the cytoplasm, mainly in the context of disease and aging. While it is not unusual to find DNA from ...
Cells make up all life on Earth. Cells are the smallest unit of life. All cells have specific structures, called components. Models in science are used to help us understand complicated ideas in a ...
