Geared toward a younger audience (but honestly, who among us doesn’t love cell animations?) the Cell and Cell Structure app is a great educational resource for those looking for a beautifully ...

Xylem vessel pits are tiny openings on the cell wall of water-conducting cells—with pit geometry influencing crop yield through its effect on plant hydraulics and nitrogen transport.

A novel mechanism of RNA regulation in embryonic stem cells has been discovered by scientists. They present strong evidence that a specific chemical modification or 'tag' on RNA plays a key role in ...

Researchers say findings help to bridge the structure of the genome to its function in managing how genes are turned on and off.

Researchers have discovered a type of organelle, a fundamental cellular structure, that can turn nitrogen gas into a form that is useful for cell growth. The discovery of the structure, called a ...

A team of scientists that included researchers from UCLA has discovered a novel mechanism of RNA regulation in embryonic stem cells. The findings are strong evidence that a specific chemical ...
