    Whereas the beta form had been identified in 1845, [3] α-PbO 2 was first identified in 1946 and found as a naturally occurring mineral 1988. [ 4 ] The alpha form has orthorhombic symmetry, space group Pbcn (No. 60), Pearson symbol oP 12, lattice constants a = 0.497 nm, b = 0.596 nm, c = 0.544 nm, Z = 4 (four formula units per unit cell).

  3. Scrutinyite - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scrutinyite

    Scrutinyite / ˈ s k r uː t ɪ n i. aɪ t / is a rare oxide mineral and is the alpha crystalline form of lead dioxide (α-PbO 2), plattnerite being the other, beta form. The mineral was first reported in 1988 and its name reflects the scrutiny and efforts required to identify it from a very limited amount of available sample material.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_human_cell_types

    On 2021, Stephen Quake guessed that the upper limit of the number of human cell types would be around 6000, based on a reasoning that "if biologists had discovered only 5% of cell types in the human body, then the upper limit of cell types to discover is somewhere around 6000 (i.e., 300/0.05)." [10] Other different efforts have used different ...

    The cell on the left is going through mitosis and its chromosomes have condensed. Cell nucleus: A cell's information center, the cell nucleus is the most conspicuous organelle found in a eukaryotic cell. It houses the cell's chromosomes, and is the place where almost all DNA replication and RNA synthesis (transcription) occur.

    Its cell body has extending major or primary processes that form secondary processes as podocyte foot processes or pedicels. [6] The primary processes are held by microtubules and intermediate filaments. The foot processes have an actin-based cytoskeleton. [6] Podocytes are found lining the Bowman's capsules in the nephrons of the kidney.

  9. Peroxisome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peroxisome

    A peroxisome (/ p ə ˈ r ɒ k s ɪ ˌ s oʊ m /) [1] is a membrane-bound organelle, a type of microbody, found in the cytoplasm of virtually all eukaryotic cells. [2] [3] Peroxisomes are oxidative organelles. Frequently, molecular oxygen serves as a co-substrate, from which hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2) is then formed. Peroxisomes owe their name ...
