Additionally, the role of endosymbiosis—the process by which one organism lives inside another—has been emphasized in understanding the origin of eukaryotic cell biology. Some researchers ...

Thanks to mitochondria, eukaryotic ancestors had enough energy to develop into the more complex eukaryotic cells known today. The primary distinction between these two types of organisms is that ...

Planctomycetes May Yield New Insights into the Eukaryote-Like Cell Biology of a Bacterium Planctomycete cell structure differs from that of all other known prokaryotes. We are not sure yet whether ...

This is an advanced course in cell biology. In this course we will examine different areas of eukaryotic cell biology including: membrane structure and function, cell adhesion, intercellular ...

“I think this is the most exciting development in biology right now. So much is being discovered ... While the identity of original host in the symbiotic partnership that birthed modern eukaryotic ...

Eukaryotic cell DNA in a nucleus, plasmids are found in a few simple eukaryotic organisms. Prokaryotic cell DNA is a single molecule, found free in the cytoplasm; additional DNA is found on one or ...

Various microbes, including several human pathogens, hijack the cell’s skeleton, membranes, and protein-making machinery to make themselves at home. Intracellular bacteria use various tricks to ...
