Plants and trees may seem pretty passive, but behind the scenes, their cells are working hard to put on a magic show. In this episode of Crash Course Botany, we’ll explore how the processes of ...

A new study challenges a long-standing assumption about how cyanobacteria survive environmental stress. The study, led by ...

Animals, plants and many other living organisms inhale oxygen to "burn" (oxidize) compounds like sugar into CO 2 and water—a process during which the energy-rich molecule ATP is produced. Cells ...

A cell's identity is based on the genes it expresses, and scientists have been studying gene expression mechanisms for many years. But the process involves molecules that are too small to see, until ...

Biochemist John Carson uses The Virtual Cell to compare experimental and simulation results. Biologists are generating a vast amount of data on the molecular events that occur in the cell. Since a ...

A new review highlights the pivotal role of LSD1 (lysine-specific demethylase 1) in regulating critical cellular processes and its implications for human diseases. This article sheds light on how post ...
