Interesting Facts about cilia

Primary cilia structure.

Cilia are microscopic, hair-like structures that extend from the surface of cells in the body. They are involved in a wide range of functions, including movement, sensory perception, and signaling. Cilia have a characteristic 9+2 arrangement of microtubules, which gives them their distinctive appearance, and their beating is coordinated by specialized motor proteins called dyneins. … Read more

Facts About Exocytosis

Exocytosis

Exocytosis is a cellular process by which intracellular materials such as proteins, lipids, or other molecules are packaged into membrane-bound vesicles and then secreted out of the cell by fusing the vesicles with the plasma membrane. This process is critical for various cellular functions, including neurotransmitter release, hormone secretion, and maintenance of plasma membrane composition. … Read more

Facts about Storage Granules

Storage Granules

Storage granules are intracellular compartments found in various microorganisms, including bacteria, archaea, and fungi, that store various molecules, such as glycogen, polyhydroxyalkanoates, and polyphosphate. The function of storage granules is to provide a reserve of nutrients and energy for the cell to use during times of limited availability or high demand. Storage granules are not … Read more

Facts About Natural Killer Cells

Natural killer (NK) cells 

Natural Killer (NK) cells are a type of innate immune cell that plays a critical role in the early defense against viral infections and tumor cells. NK cells are able to recognize and directly kill virus-infected cells and cancerous cells without prior sensitization or activation, unlike other immune cells that require specific recognition of antigens … Read more

Facts about Macrophage

Characteristics of M2 Macrophages

A macrophage is a type of immune cell that plays a critical role in the body’s defense against infection and disease. Macrophages are found throughout the body, including in tissues such as the liver, spleen, lymph nodes, and bone marrow. They are capable of engulfing and digesting pathogens, cellular debris, and foreign substances in a … Read more

Facts About Dendritic cell

Dendritic cell - Definition, Location, Structure, Types, Functions

Dendritic cells are a type of immune cell that act as sentinels, constantly scanning the body for foreign invaders such as viruses, bacteria, or cancer cells. They are named after their dendritic or branched morphology, which allows them to efficiently capture and present antigens to other immune cells, particularly T cells. Dendritic cells play a … Read more

Facts about Vesicles 

Vesicles Definition, Structure, Types and Functions

Vesicles are small, membrane-bound sacs found inside cells that play important roles in the transport, storage, and secretion of various molecules and substances, such as hormones, neurotransmitters, and proteins. They are composed of a lipid bilayer membrane and can vary in size and composition depending on their function. Vesicles can move substances between different parts … Read more

Facts about Basophiles

Facts about Basophiles

Basophils are a type of white blood cell that make up a small percentage of the total white blood cell count in the blood. Basophils are a type of granulocyte, which means that they contain granules or small particles in their cytoplasm. Basophils are identifiable under a microscope by their large, dark-staining granules. They play … Read more

Facts about Glyoxysomes

Facts about Glyoxysomes

Glyoxysomes are specialized organelles found in plant cells, particularly in the cotyledons of germinating seeds. They are responsible for the conversion of stored fats into carbohydrates for use as energy during seed germination. Glyoxysomes have a single membrane and contain enzymes involved in the glyoxylate cycle, which bypasses two steps of the citric acid cycle … Read more

Facts about Peroxisomes

Facts about Peroxisomes

Peroxisomes are membrane-bound organelles found in most eukaryotic cells. They contain a matrix that contains enzymes for various metabolic reactions, including the breakdown of fatty acids, the detoxification of harmful substances, and the synthesis of certain hormones and neurotransmitters. Peroxisomes also play a role in the regulation of cellular energy metabolism, redox homeostasis, and lipid … Read more

Facts about Plastids

Facts about Plastids

Plastids are a group of organelles found in the cells of plants and algae that are responsible for a variety of important cellular functions. They are membrane-bound structures that have their own genetic material and can divide and multiply within the cell. Plastids are involved in photosynthesis, the storage of nutrients, and the synthesis of … Read more

Interesting Facts About Cytoplasm

Interesting Facts About Cytoplasm

What is a Cytoplasm? The cytoplasm is a jelly-like substance that fills the space between the cell membrane and the nucleus in living cells. It is a complex mixture of water, salts, and various organic molecules, such as proteins, lipids, and carbohydrates. The cytoplasm is composed of two major components: the cytosol and the organelles. … Read more

Facts about Blotting Technique

Buffer preparation

Blotting technique is a laboratory method used to detect and analyze nucleic acids (DNA or RNA) or proteins in a sample. It involves separating molecules by size using gel electrophoresis, transferring them to a membrane, and then using labeled probes or antibodies to detect and analyze the molecules of interest. The term “blotting” refers to … Read more

Interesting Facts about Mast cell

Interesting Facts about Mast cell

Mast cells are a type of immune cell that are found throughout the body in tissues such as the skin, lungs, and digestive tract.
