Cells can be grouped into two general categories: prokaryotic cells, which include microbes like bacteria and archaea, or eukaryotic cells, which include plants and animals. A major difference between ...
For the first time, researchers have directly visualized how newly formed cellular organelles leave the endoplasmic reticulum ...
"Our new tool allows us to study how changes in mitochondrial abundance and the mitochondrial genome affect cells and organisms," said Jun Wu, Ph.D., Associate Professor of Molecular Biology at UT ...
Plants' ability to sense light and temperature, and their ability to adapt to climate change, hinges on free-forming structures in their cells whose function was, until now, a mystery. Researchers ...
BUFFALO, N.Y. — The interior of a human cell consists, in part, of a complex soup of millions of molecules. One way these biological compounds stay organized is through membrane-less organelles (MLOs) ...
For the first time, scientists have engineered the complex biological process of translation into a designer organelle in a living mammalian cell. Researchers used this technique to create a ...
Think back to that basic biology class you took in high school. You probably learned about organelles, those little “organs” inside cells that form compartments with individual functions. For example, ...
Researchers at Howard Hughes Medical Institute and the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute for Child Health and Human Development are getting a first glimpse at the inner-workings of live cells ...
Cells use compartments known as organelles to sequester molecules or reactions as a way to control many biochemical processes. Scientists would like to do the same by engineering synthetic organelles ...
More than a decade ago, plant geneticists noticed something peculiar when they looked at grafted plants. Where two plants grew together, the cells of each plant showed signs of having picked up ...
Our body is made up of many different kinds of cells, and inside each cell are organelles, tiny machines that help carry out cellular functions. New work reveals more about a network connecting two ...
BUFFALO, N.Y. — New research may help to explain an intriguing phenomenon inside human cells: how wall-less liquid organelles are able to coexist as separate entities instead of just merging together.
