This will require technology that allows the cell-cycle molecular machines to be studied in real time and space using microscopic imaging techniques such as fluorescence resonance energy transfer ...

How do cells meet our bodies’ ever changing energy needs? In most animal cells ... ultimately converge onto a common pathway, the TCA cycle, occurring within the mitochondria (Figure 1).

Sperm cells can swim fast thanks to a tail, streamlined shape and a high concentration of energy transferring mitochondria. Good thing too, because without sperm, animals couldn't reproduce.

Nerve cells have amazing strategies to save energy and still perform the most important of their tasks. Researchers from the ...

New research by EMBL scientists shows how different modes of cell division used by animals and fungi might have evolved to support diverse life cycles. Cell division is one of the most fundamental ...

This was a breakthrough finding because, before the analysis of H.salminicola, no creature was observed to be without respiratory cells ... source of energy, and yet we found an animal that ...
