In eukaryotic cells, which are found in complex organisms including humans, little membrane-bound organelles carry out various functions. It's been suggested that these organelles, which all have ...

The human body can be thought of as a complex chemical factory with different processes occurring simultaneously at the microscopic level. Scientists have long been fascinated with such processes as ...

Researchers at the University of Geneva have developed a technique that enables visualization of cellular organelles at a resolution that has not previously been achievable in optical microscopy.

Organelles – the bits and pieces of RNA and protein within a cell – play important roles in human health and disease, such as maintaining homeostasis, regulating growth and aging, and generating ...

Prior to using this narrative, have learners create their own model of a cell in their notebooks using whatever background information or experience they might have. While exploring the narrative, ...

In a new study, researchers have succeeded in creating artificial cell organelles and using them for their own devised biochemical reactions. Cells of higher organisms use cell organelles to separate ...

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 ...

The interactions within and between the organelles inside our cells could hold the key to understanding complex diseases such as cancer and neurodegeneration. Recent advances in imaging techniques are ...

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) ...

Two billion years ago, on a geochemically bubbly youth Earth, a simple bacteria engulfed its neighbor. Rather than dissolving into nutrients, against all odds the eaten organism formed a symbiotic ...
