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 ...

Animal and plant cells differ and they have similarities. Nucleus, cell membrane, cytoplasm and mitochondria are four cell components that are found in both animal and plant cells. All life on ...

Researchers at Linköping University, Sweden, have succeeded in creating a close connection between individual cells and ...

Scientists reveal how filopodia help cancer spread. The breakthrough could improve treatments that stop cancer cells from invading tissues.

"Until our collaborative study, exocyst was understood to recognize and possibly tether secretory vesicles to the cell membrane, prior to exocytosis. In this study, we reveal biophysical studies ...
