Table 1 below provides an overview of the key features of a prokaryotic cell: Table 1. The structure and function of key prokaryotic cell structures. Prokaryotes have ribosomes but they are smaller ...

But filopodia can also wreak havoc: metastatic cancer cells use them to invade new regions of the body. Filopodia are composed of hexagonal bundles of proteins that give them structure and strength.

The old paradigm was all about how molecules pass information around the cell by getting together via selective interactions tightly encoded into their structure. Condensates undermine this view.
