All complex life forms on Earth, including plants and animals, are made up of eukaryotic cells; they are more sophisticated than bacterial or archaeal cells, which are prokaryotic. Eukaryotes have ...
New research has suggested that the ancestors of complex life, or the most ancient eukaryotic cells to have ever existed on ...
Eukaryotic cells rely on an integrated network of surveillance pathways to maintain protein homeostasis, ensuring that nascent chains fold correctly, damaged polypeptides are recognised and misfolded ...
Combining fossil and geochemical analysis, researchers showed that eukaryotic cells were already complex and aerobic 1.7 billion years ago, pushing back the dawn of eukaryogenesis.
