Each component of a cell has its own function. Animal and plant cells differ and they have similarities. Nucleus, cell membrane, cytoplasm and mitochondria are four cell components that are found ...

Animal cells have many small vacuoles within them while plant cells have one large one. The vacuole within a plant cell can ...

The findings could be used to create new hair follicles, and skin transplants for burn victims, researchers say.

Plant cells have several structures not found in other eukaryotes. In particular, organelles called chloroplasts allow plants to capture the energy of the Sun in energy-rich molecules; cell walls ...

Making meat in the lab starts with animal cells that are cultured in a nutrient-rich medium. These cells are coaxed to grow into muscle tissue using growth factors. Once the tissues mature ...

Originally, scientists thought those were the only two ways an animal cell could die, by accident or by that neat-and-tidy version. But over the past couple of decades, researchers have racked up ...
