Findings from a new University of Cincinnati study have reshaped the fundamental understanding of how a certain cell ...

Scientists from The First Affiliated Hospital of Dalian Medical University have developed a novel bioengineered system using membrane self-assembly to create neural stem cell-derived oxidative ...

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, ...

A well-fitted ‘disguise’ allows transplanted mitochondria to slip into cells whose own mitochondria are defective, scientists ...

Cells behave like cities and organelles carry out infrastructural roles: mitochondria are powerhouses, the endoplasmic reticulum serves as a transport hub and lysosomes help with waste disposal.

UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers have identified how the quintessential immune protein known as stimulator of ...

Organelle biogenesis is the biological process by which cells establish, maintain, and propagate their membrane-bound compartments, including their specific protein and lipid compositions, morphology, ...

Hyperspectral imaging has provided an insight into how cells organize and prioritize organelle growth. As cells grow, their organelles also need to grow. But do all the organelles grow at the same ...

Researchers discovered that fedratinib promotes endoplasmic reticulum–mitochondria contact sites. The drug inhibits BRD4, ...

Picture a living cell as if it were a city. If you were the urban planner for this (very little, very alive) city, one of the things you would have to decide is how to allocate space for different ...
