Missing the beginning of the film. The film explores the structure and function of plant and animal cells using a microscope. It begins with observing onion cells, highlighting their components ...

Stem cells function as the source of new cells to build tissues and organs and are central players in the development of complex organisms ranging from plants to humans.

Animal and plant cells have different energy-producing structures inside them. For animals, that’s mitochondria, which convert chemical energy from food into a form that our cells can use.

"Most animal cells are cultured at 37 degrees Celsius." Therefore, the researchers had to search for chloroplasts that would be able to function I the warm environment of an animal cell.

Researchers have developed artificial cell-like structures using inorganic matter that autonomously ingest, process, and push out material - recreating an essential function of living cells.

In human and animal cells, TOR acts as a signal generator that controls both survival and cell growth. The Heidelberg researchers have now discovered how this protein also functions as a growth ...
