It is important to know the component of cell i.e Plasma Membrane, Cell Wall, Nucleus, Cytoplasm, Ribosomes, Golgi bodies, Mitochondria, Lysosomes, and Plastids etc. Image courtesy: ...

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 endoplasmic reticulum (ER) forms tight membrane contact sites (MCSs) with several organelles in animal cells and yeast. The function of MCSs between the ER and mitochondria and endosomes are ...

The cell nucleus is the site of many important biological functions of the eukaryotic cell. These processes include transcription, replication, splicing and ribosome biogenesis. The effect of these ...

Glycans are essential to virtually every biological process in the body. These complex structures—composed of interlocking sugar molecules—adorn the surfaces of cells in fuzzy profusion. Glycans are a ...

Mitochondria, the “powerhouses of the cell,” are vital cellular organelles that govern energy metabolism, maintain redox ...

There are many different types of cells in animals. Each type is specialised for a particular role. These ensure that the organism functions as a whole. The head of the sperm contains the genetic ...
