An international research team has uncovered a surprising way compartments within cells work together to defend themselves ...

Mitochondria are cell organelles surrounded by a double membrane. In addition to numerous essential functions in the ...

Plant and animal cells are both extremely important to the survival of millions of species and without them, life couldn’t ...

Their internal compartments, specialized tasks, and adaptability make them the foundation of human life, plant biology, and everything in between. Recognizing the components of a eukaryotic cell, from ...

A new part of an ocean plant cell has been discovered that might revolutionize farming one day. The structure can take nitrogen and convert it into the ingredient that helps all organisms grow.

But plant cells have evolved some wild features that set them apart from animal cells. In this episode of Crash Course Botany, we’ll ask: are plants more than the sum of their cells?

The cells driving the tissue are a plant-animal hybrid that can gain energy from sunlight in the same way that plants do, the researchers explain in the study.

Animal and plant cells have different energy-producing structures inside them. For animals, that’s mitochondria, which convert chemical energy from food into a form that our cells can use.

Mitochondria are very well known as the powerhouses of the cell. Generally speaking, all eukaryotes, including plants, fungi, and animals, are made of cells that contain mitochondria. These organelles ...

The SARS-CoV-2 virus hijacks our cellular power plants known as mitochondria. A new study hypothesizes that could potentially explain long Covid.

In addition, both AIEgens had low cytotoxicity and good biocompatibility. Then in a final series of experiments, the team found that mitochondria could be clearly identified in live cells stained with ...
