potentially influencing how the first eukaryotic cells emerged. Additionally, genomic analyses of modern eukaryotes indicate that their ancestors likely acquired genes from multiple sources, not just ...

The structure and function of key prokaryotic cell structures. Prokaryotes have ribosomes but they are smaller and structurally simpler than those in eukaryotic cells. These non-membrane-bound ...

A common type of bacteria has been found to make some cancers "melt", according to researchers. People who had fusobacterium in their head and neck cancers had "much better outcomes" - with ...

coli, engineered with a synchronized lysis circuit. Once the bacterial cells reach a quorum inside a tumor, the circuit triggers, causing most of the bacteria to lyse, or break apart, releasing ...

Modern eukaryotic cells contain numerous organelles, which once used to be independent bacteria. In order to understand how these bacteria were integrated into the cells in the course of evolution ...

Using a sophisticated transcriptional recording method called Record-seq in a study conducted on mice, scientists have engineered E.coli sentinel cells so ... a kind of bacterial immune memory ...

Researchers have discovered that the ancestors of legionella bacteria infected eukaryotic cells as early as two billion years ago. It happened soon after eukaryotes began to feed on bacteria.

Biologists from San Diego State University have identified a new way that one type of bacteria invades multiple cells within a living organism. The study, published this week in Nature ...

The main difference between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells lies in their structure. Prokaryotic cells and eukaryotic cells are the two types of cells that exist on Earth. There are several ...

are prokaryotic cells. They do not possess membrane-bound cellular compartments, such as nuclei. Both eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells bear a lipid bilayer, which is an arrangement of ...

The immune system can find bacteria residing within cancer cells and harness them to provoke an immune reaction against the tumor, according to a study published in Nature. An international research ...
