When cows burp, they send a substantial amount of methane gas into the air, which makes them a leading contributor to ...

In cows’ guts, ciliates contain a tiny organelle called a hydrogenobody that may drive production of methane, a potent ...

Potato chips, electrolytes after a workout, the taste of our tears: How do the compartments of our cells work when there’s salt around? Recent research by the Krishnan Group, published in Nature ...

A team led by HHMI Janelia Research Campus Fellow Daniel Feliciano developed a new, cost-effective technique that uses ...

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 ...

Just as the human body relies on organs such as the heart or liver for essential functions, cells depend on their own tiny ...

Each year, Fondation Bettencourt Schueller honours a researcher under the age of 45 for an exceptional contribution to scientific discovery. The most recent recipient of the Liliane Bettencourt Prize ...

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 ...

Scientists at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital have shown that nutrient availability and organelle biology affect the development of tissue-resident memory T cells. “We are excited to introduce a ...

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 ...
