Researchers have developed synthetic genes that function like the genes in living cells. The artificial genes can build intracellular structures through a cascading sequence that builds self ...

New structure found in cells These 'clusters' have structures that encode function Date: July 12, 2022 Source: Washington University in St. Louis Summary: Researchers have found a new, dynamic ...

The nucleus is often called the "control center of a cell" since it is in charge of functions such as metabolism, growth and reproduction. All of an organism's DNA is called its genome.

Cells that control hunger have a strong influence on the brain’s higher cortical regions. The findings could lead to new treatments for psychiatric illness.

Those are proteins that break stuff down. Our cells use lysosomes to help destroy germs or recycle old or messed up cell parts. Lysosomes are basically the cell’s trash and recycling centers.

The hemifusome is a tiny, membrane-bound organelle that functions as a recycling center inside cells. Its primary role seems to be in organizing and processing cellular cargo—materials essential ...
