This valuable study presents a novel approach to enhance the therapeutic potential of mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) by genetically modifying their glycogen synthesis pathway, resulting in increased ...

The American Academy of Microbiology, the honorific leadership group and scientific think tank of the American Society for Microbiology (ASM), announced today the release of its landmark report, ...

While prokaryotic cells do not have membrane-bound structures, they do have distinct cellular regions (Figure 1). In prokaryotic cells, DNA bundles together in a region called the nucleoid. Primitive ...

Researchers have also detected biomolecular condensates in prokaryotic, or bacterial, cells, which traditionally were defined as not containing organelles. This finding could have profound effects ...

Single-celled organisms ruled, and there wasn’t much to them. They were what we now call prokaryotic cells, which include modern-day bacteria and archaea, essentially sacks of loose molecular parts.

they are more sophisticated than bacterial or archaeal cells, which are prokaryotic. Eukaryotes have membrane bound organelles, such as mitochondria, which are such sophisticated little structures.

Living organisms are made up of two kinds of cells—prokaryotes and eukaryotes. Prokaryotes are single-celled organisms that lack a nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles within the cell ...

A new hypothesis suggests that it could come down to how prokaryotic genomes respond to a small population size. Every organism visible to the naked eye is a mass of genetically identical cells. Each ...

In two recent papers, an international team of scientists describe the first known nitrogen-fixing organelle within a eukaryotic cell. The organelle is the fourth example in history of primary ...
