The structure and function of key prokaryotic cell structures. Prokaryotes have ribosomes but they are smaller and structurally simpler than those in eukaryotic cells. These non-membrane-bound ...

In human cells, only a small proportion of the information written in genes is used to produce proteins. How does the cell ...

Human genes that encode proteins often contain non-coding segments known as introns. Removing introns is crucial for the proper expression of genetic information. Understanding how our cells ...

Mitosis orchestrates eukaryotic cell division, maintaining genetic fidelity and playing a key role in development, tissue homeostasis, and cancer progression.

A complex molecular machine, the spliceosome, ensures that the genetic information from the genome, after being transcribed ...

Their cell structure is simpler than the cells of animals ... Genetic material DNA in a nucleus, plasmids are found in a few simple eukaryotic organisms. DNA is a single molecule, found free ...

Researchers have revealed the structure of U11 snRNP – one of the five subunits of the minor spliceosome, which initiates the intron selection process.

Trypanosomes are parasites that cause sleeping sickness, Chagas disease, and various animal diseases. Diagnosis and treatment remain complex and no effective vaccine has been developed. A better ...
