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).

Eukaryotic cells are typically much larger than those of prokaryotes. They have a variety of internal membrane-bound structures, called organelles, and a cytoskeleton composed of microtubules, microfilaments, and intermediate filaments, which play an important role in defining the cell's organization and shape.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.
