Geared toward a younger audience (but honestly, who among us doesn’t love cell animations?) the Cell and Cell Structure app is a great educational resource for those looking for a beautifully ...

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 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.

Single-cell technology has revolutionized the field of biological research by enabling the analysis of individual cells, providing unprecedented insights into cellular heterogeneity and function. More ...

Prior to using this narrative, have learners create their own model of a cell in their notebooks using whatever background information or experience they might have. While exploring the narrative, ...

- Muscle cells, also known as myocytes, are specialized cells designed for contraction and force production. Skeletal Muscle Cells: These cells are long, cylindrical, and have a striated (or striped) ...

The glycocalyx surrounds each cell in the human body like a coat. This complex sugar layer plays a key role in the progression of numerous diseases, such as cancer and autoimmune diseases. The ...

It's no coincidence that our bodies feel a little creakier as we age. The trillions of cells that make up our skeleton age too, and some change in ways that weaken the very structure of our bones.

Understanding cell structure and mechanisms requires data analysis from various imaging systems and modalities that all use different file formats. Each experimental setup can generate a unique ...
