The team isolated the chloroplasts from algal cells using a centrifuge and gentle stirring. Instead of then piercing the host cells’ membranes, as in earlier work, the researchers adjusted the culture ...
Apoptosis and autophagy constitute the two self-destructive processes by which supernumerary, damaged or aged cells and organelles are eliminated. Beyond this homeostatic function, autophagy is ...
Organelles are entities within a eukaryotic cell that have a specialised function. Examples of organelles include the nucleus, the endoplasmic reticulum, the Golgi, mitochondria, vacuoles or ...
For decades, two-dimensional cell culture has been regarded as a major tool in cellular and molecular biology due to its simplicity, reproducibility and reliable nature. However, it is now recognized ...
"This has value in analyzing the evolution of the eukaryotic cell, to help better understand these organelles and possibly mitochondrial dysfunctions." Hydrogenosomes resemble mitochondria ...
