Sterols, such as cholesterol in our bodies or ergosterol in yeast cells, are among the most abundant lipids in eukaryotic ...

Sterols are among the most abundant lipids in eukaryotic cells, yet are synthesized through notoriously long, complex metabolic pathways. Researchers have used a novel approach to show how they ...

The eukaryotic cell, the most significant increase in complexity in the history of life's evolution on Earth, emerged as a phase transition and unlocked the path toward other major transitions ...

Eukaryogenesis occurred suddenly, driven by the growing length of genes and the limitations on producing longer proteins. An ...

Eukaryotic cells grow and divide through a specific series of cellular events. These events are tightly controlled, ensuring that the resultant daughter cells are free of DNA errors, and subject ...

Kurian calculates that all eukaryotic life — organisms with complex cells — has performed approximately 10 60 logical ...

There are tens of trillions of cells in the human body, and new cells are constantly forming as older cells age and die. But sometimes, cell growth and replication doesn't stop when it should.

The risk of cancer goes up with age, in part because aging impedes the body's ability to detect and destroy cells with ...

RC1 and other similar complexes are essential for cells to produce energy when the body breathes oxygen. They are found in the mitochondrial inner membranes of all eukaryotic cells that require ...

The human body is incredible. It is a unique system of interrelated structures and essential organs that work continuously to ...
