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 ...

In recent years, scientists have found that some liquids inside of cells behave like oil and vinegar do - droplets of liquid separate from the rest, creating little droplets in the cytoplasm. While ...

A Rochester Institute of Technology scientist hopes that a better understanding of how living cells maintain the size of their organelles can lead to therapies for neurodegenerative diseases.

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 ...

Researchers showed that many mitochondrial proteins enter the organelle during synthesis, guided by folding patterns and structural signals. This discovery revises decades of biochemical models. Mitoc ...

A new organelle has been discovered in human cells — and scientists call it a "hemifusome." Like the full-size organs in our bodies, the organelles within cells are specialized structures that carry ...

"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 ...

Researchers design and trace a modified cholera toxin to cell organelles for insights on glycoprotein trafficking inside compartments of cells Proteins usually undergo modifications during or after ...

Bacteria are only the only organisms that are able to 'fix' nitrogen, or remove it from the atmosphere and convert it into a useful form. While some plants seem to fix nitrogen, it is actually ...

Researchers from The University of Osaka find that mitochondria in macrophages can be degraded through the lesser-known path ...
