Advanced chapter of the book "The Molecular Biology of the Cell" describes and provides illustrations of our most current understanding of the chemical makeup of cells and their components. Explains in detail how electron activity keeps...

Article explores the life cycle of a cell and delves into the phases of the cell cycle.

Learn how cells use checkpoints to regulate the cell cycle. This article provides an overview of cell cycle control, outlining the factors that influence a cell's decision to pause or progress at each checkpoint.

This article looks at a few of the most important core cell cycle regulators: proteins called cyclins, enzymes called Cdks, and an enzyme complex called the APC/C.

Article takes a look at how cancer develops and what's wrong with cancer cells. Also, delves into how abnormal forms of cell cycle regulators can contribute to cancer.

Tutorial examines how a cell divides to make two genetically identical cells and explores the four basic phases: prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase.

This cellular biology page presents extensive detail on the chemical nature of the cell membrane. Using the Chime plug-in, students can manipulate and study models of the membrane.

College-level biotechnology course highlighting a science basis for bioengineering focusing on molecular cell biology and systems biology. Course contents include video lectures and interviews of bioengineering faculty, lecture notes,...

Resource explains apoptosis (programmed cell death) and how it is different from necrosis (cell death due to injury).

This informative resource features an overview of genetic material: DNA, chromosomes, genomes, homologous chromosomes, sister chromatids, and haploid/diploid.

Endocytosis enables cells to absorb extracellular nutrients that are needed for their survival. In receptor-mediated endocytosis, a protein receptor on the cell membrane binds to a nutrient molecule and facilitates its absorption through...
