Plant cells have several structures not found in other eukaryotes. In particular, organelles called chloroplasts allow plants to capture the energy of the Sun in energy-rich molecules; cell walls ...

Bone-marrow-derived multipotent progenitor stromal cells — or mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) — are the common predecessors of cells of the mesenchymal lineage, such as bone, cartilage and fat ...

These spindle-shaped brain cells, called von Economo neurons—named for the man who first described them—are found only in human beings, great apes and a handful of other notably gregarious ...

When this happens, not only do your brain and ears perceive it, but your cells may also. Technically speaking, sound is a simple phenomenon, consisting of compressional mechanical waves ...

Wenzhou Medical University and collaborating institutions have identified a population of human neural retinal stem-like cells able to regenerate retinal tissue and support visual recovery.

A team of researchers from more than ten laboratories in Europe, Asia and North America examined newly identified cells in mice called peripheral neural stem cells. These cells share important ...

Flexible perovskite/CIGS tandem solar cells developed using the antisolvent-seeding approach. Credit: NIMTE A breakthrough by Chinese scientists has pushed flexible solar technology forward by solving ...

For human health, prematurely aging cells are a big problem. When a cell ages and stops growing, its function changes, which can cause or worsen cardiovascular disease, Alzheimer's disease and ...

Researchers can now generate brain cells from patients using stem cells, which gives them a clearer understanding of how schizophrenia develops Individuals with schizophrenia may have abnormally ...

When animals defecate, they shed living cells from their intestines, and these can be found on the outside of the dung, says Williams, a professor of fertility and reproductive health. Living ...

The biological research of UC Santa Cruz’s Needhi Bhalla to determine the molecular motions at the heart of heredity has ...
