National 5 Cell structure The functions of cell organelles Cells are microscopic building blocks of unicellular and multicellular living organisms.

The cell is the structural and functional unit of living organisms. It was discovered by Robert Hooke in 1665.

The cell nucleus is the site of many important biological functions of the eukaryotic cell. These processes include transcription, replication, splicing and ribosome biogenesis. The effect of ...

Understanding cell structure and function As imaging methods and workflows improve, researchers will be able to tackle some key questions in cell biology with different strategies.

Proteins are the workhorses of cells. Learn how their functions are based on their three-dimensional structures, which emerge from a complex folding process.

A new structure in human cells has been discovered. The structure is a new type of protein complex that the cell uses to attach to its surroundings and proves to play a key part in cell division.
