Did you know learning about animal cells can be a real lark? Get it, lark? Anyone…? Okay let's move on. An animal cell is made of three main parts a nucleus, cell membrane and cytoplasm, which holds ...

A look at the cells of different organisms and a comparison of the structures found in plant and animal cells. All animal cells are surrounded by a membrane which contains the cytoplasm. Nearly all ...

Researchers at the Francis Crick Institute have shown that the "pacemaker" controlling yeast cell division lies inside the nucleus rather than outside it, as previously thought. Having the pacemaker ...

Gurdon, often referred to as “the godfather of cloning,” published a landmark 1962 study in Journal of Embryology and Experimental Morphology showing that replacing the nucleus of a frog’s egg with ...

In human cells, there are about 20,000 genes on a two-meter DNA strand—finely coiled up in a nucleus about 10 micrometers in diameter. By comparison, this corresponds to a 40-kilometer thread packed ...

Cancer cells are subjected to high mechanical pressure that leads to a rupture of the nuclear envelope when migrating through narrow tissue structures, as in the case of metastasis. DNA would normally ...
