To use a light microscope to examine animal or plant cells. To make observations and draw scale diagrams of cells. Turn the coarse focus so that the stage is as close to the objective lens as possible ...

A study has revealed the three-dimensional genomic structure of male germ cells and how this structure determines function. It represents a significant advance in our understanding of how the dynamics ...

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 ...

Researchers describe the first complete wiring diagram of the nervous system of an animal, the roundworm Caenorhabditis elegans, used by scientists worldwide as a model organism. The study includes ...
