News Releases. Schizophreniaâs strongest known genetic risk deconstructed. Suspect gene may trigger runaway synaptic pruning during adolescence â NIH-funded study. Versions of a gene linked to schizophrenia may trigger runaway pruning of the teenage brainâs still-maturing communications infrastructure, NIH-funded researchers have discovered.

The cytoplasmic membrane (also called the plasma or cell membrane) in eukaryotic cells, as in prokaryotes, is a fluid phospholipid bilayer embedded with proteins and glycoproteins.2, Fig. 32A, and Fig. 31).

The presence of a nucleus gives eukaryotes their name, which comes from the Greek ÎµÏ (eu, well) and ÎºÎ¬ÏÏÎ¿Î½ (karyon, nut or kernel). Eukaryotic cells also contain other membrane-bound organelles such as mitochondria and the Golgi apparatus. In addition, plants and algae contain chloroplasts.Eukaryotic organisms may be unicellular, or multicellular. Only eukaryotes have many kinds of tissue made up of different cell types.nimal cells are distinct from other eukaryotes, most notably plant cells, as they lack cell walls and chloroplasts. They also have smaller vacuoles. Due to the lack of a cell wall, animal cells can adopt a variety of shapes. A phagocytic cell can even engulf other structures.
