Plant Cells “Push Away” the Cytoskeleton To Divide
While animal cells may use the cytoskeleton to pull materials during division, it seems that plant cells push the microtubules of the cytoskeleton away.

The Implications of Viruses and Bacteria in Man-Made Environments
Viruses in man-made environments cause public health concerns, but they are generally less studied than bacteria. A recent study provided the first evidence of frequent interactions between viruses and bacteria in man-made environments.

Mitochondrial Genetic Disturbances Impact Immune System's T Cells
All cells have their own power plants, called mitochondria. There are often more than 100 mitochondria per cell and each possesses their own genome, which in turn contains genes responsible for energy production.

Soybean Oil Consumption Can Lead to Colitis
According to murine research, a diet high in soybean oil decreased beneficial bacteria and increased harmful bacteria in the gut.

Artificial Cells Can Evolve Just As Quickly as Normal Cells
A research team found that the streamlined cell can evolve just as fast as a normal cell, demonstrating the capacity for organisms to adapt, even with an unnatural genome that would seemingly provide little flexibility.

40% of Fatal Intestinal Disease Risk Is Inherited
University of Queensland researchers have used genetics to reveal that much of the risk of developing a common and sometimes fatal intestinal disease is inherited.
