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.

Biomedical engineers at Duke University have demonstrated a method for controlling the phase separation of an emerging class of proteins to create artificial membrane-less organelles within human ...

Human and animal cells are compartmentalized by several different membrane-bound entities called organelles, each responsible for specific cellular tasks. Until now, it was unclear how the individual ...

Centrosomes are not essential for cell division in most animal cells, although they contribute to the efficiency of mitotic spindle assembly. Centrosome loss is tolerated surprisingly well in fly ...

The basic structure of a plant cell is shown below – the same plant cell, as viewed with the light microscope, and with the transmission electron microscope. Animal and plant cells have certain ...
