Confetti mice are very useful in research because they allow scientists to track which cells produce which proteins based on their color under a fluorescent microscope. These mice are particularly ...

These male stag beetles have developed some impressive mandibles (mouthparts) to win mates. Male stag beetles will battle it out with other males to demonstrate who is the largest and strongest and ...

What am I looking at? These images show a single cell in the middle dividing into two so-called daughter cells. The stage of the cell division process represented here is called anaphase. In these ...

This video of a so-called HeLa cell dividing demonstrates how sensitive the cell division process is. While all is going well at the beginning of the video, as the clip nears its end you can see the ...

This Malayan jungle nymph may look like a rather prickly character, but the species is actually a gentle giant. In fact, it’s one of the largest and heaviest insects in its family, weighing up to 65 ...

Unlike prokaryotic cells, all eukaryotic cells have nuclei. Nuclei house most of a cell’s genetic information – much of it in the form of DNA – making a nucleus a sort of blueprint for building future ...

This abstract array of blue, green, and orange swirls depicts an important bodily system, the lymphatic system, which produces immune cells and transports them throughout the bodies of all vertebrates ...

Helper T cells like this one are arguably among the most important components of the immune system. They help activate many other cells and processes in the immune system, increasing its overall ...
