One of the biggest quests in biology is understanding how every cell in an animal's body carries an identical genome yet still gives rise to a kaleidoscope of different cell types and tissues. A ...

Animal cell and molecular biology examines how cells are built, how they process information and energy, and how they respond to their physical and chemical environments. At its heart is the cell ...

Scientists at the Research Institute for Farm Animal Biology (FBN) in Dummerstorf and the University of Udine have detected the uptake of nanoplastics in farm animal cell cultures. The results provide ...

Animal developmental and reproductive biology encompasses the cellular, molecular and tissue-level events that transform a single fertilised cell into a fully formed adult capable of reproduction. Key ...

Cell line development continues to improve biologics manufacturing. This article explores how new tools are increasing ...

Virtual cell models that enable the prediction of cell behavior across scales and biological contexts are rapidly emerging at the forefront of drug discovery. Tom Sercu, PhD, vice president of AI and ...

The ability of plants to convert sunlight into food is an enviable superpower. Now, researchers have shown they can get animal cells to do the same thing. Photosynthesis in plants and algae is ...

The questions in this quiz are suitable for GCSE biology students studying plant cells, animal cells, microscopes, eukaryotes and prokaryotes. If you struggled with the quiz, don't panic - we've got ...

Think back to that basic biology class you took in high school. You probably learned about organelles, those little “organs” inside cells that form compartments with individual functions. For example, ...
