Bacterial cells differ fundamentally in their structure from animal and human cells. For example, bacteria have a rigid cell wall, whereas human cells are surrounded only by a simple membrane.

The team have shown that their nanostructured surfaces resist the growth of bacteria, but enable the culturing of cells. Credit: Tokyo Metropolitan University New nanostructured alumina surfaces offer ...

Jan. 28, 2025 — The latest findings on the interaction between cell death and cellular senescence in cancer and their pathophysiological significance have been ... Keeping the Steps of Cell ...

Jan. 28, 2025 — New research has identified a unique genetic signature in bacteria that can predict their likelihood of developing antibiotic resistance, a finding that can help quickly identify ...

They found that anodic porous alumina (APA) surfaces prepared using electrochemistry in concentrated sulfuric acid had unprecedented resistance to bacterial growth, but did not hamper cell cultures.

The most complex engineering of human cell lines ever has been achieved by scientists, revealing that our genomes are more resilient to significant structural changes than was previously thought.

In prokaryotic cells, DNA bundles together in a region called the nucleoid. Primitive organelles, such as micro-compartments found in some bacteria, help organize cellular processes by concentrating ...
