    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cell_(biology)

    Cell motility involves many receptors, crosslinking, bundling, binding, adhesion, motor and other proteins. [16] The process is divided into three steps: protrusion of the leading edge of the cell, adhesion of the leading edge and de-adhesion at the cell body and rear, and cytoskeletal contraction to pull the cell forward.

  3. Cell biology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cell_biology

    Cell biology (also cellular biology or cytology) is a branch of biology that studies the structure, function, and behavior of cells. [1] [2] All living organisms are made of cells. A cell is the basic unit of life that is responsible for the living and functioning of organisms. [3] Cell biology is the study of the structural and functional ...

  4. Beta cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beta_cell

    The destruction of these cells reduces the body's ability to respond to glucose levels in the body, therefore making it nearly impossible to properly regulate glucose and glucagon levels in the bloodstream. [25] The body destroys 70–80% of beta cells, leaving only 20–30% of functioning cells.

  5. Cell division - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cell_division

    Due to their structural differences, eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells do not divide in the same way. Also, the pattern of cell division that transforms eukaryotic stem cells into gametes (sperm cells in males or egg cells in females), termed meiosis, is different from that of the division of somatic cells in the body. Cell division over 42.

  6. Cell theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cell_theory

    The generally accepted parts of modern cell theory include: All known living things are made up of one or more cells [13] All living cells arise from pre-existing cells by division. The cell is the fundamental unit of structure and function in all living organisms. [14] The activity of an organism depends on the total activity of independent ...

  7. Cytoskeleton - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cytoskeleton

    In yeast cells, they build scaffolding to provide structural support during cell division and compartmentalize parts of the cell. Recent research in human cells suggests that septins build cages around bacterial pathogens, immobilizing the harmful microbes and preventing them from invading other cells.

    “You had all the freedom you wanted, and you couldn’t handle it. Do what you’re told. That’s what they do for the first five months. The orders are coming from ex-addicts who are role models for them. It’s much easier to obey them because they were there on that same floor some months earlier.”

    The T cell then travels throughout the body in search of cells where the MHC I receptors bear this antigen. When an activated T cell contacts such cells, it releases cytotoxins, such as perforin, which form pores in the target cell's plasma membrane, allowing ions, water and toxins to enter.
