As we go about our day, the trillions of cells in our bodies run like well-oiled machines: continually sensing what's happening around them and making modifications to keep us humming along. Like ...

Discovery bolsters theory that ancient mitochondria formed brand-new, specialized ‘sacs’ in cells by shedding their outer ...

For the first time, researchers have directly visualized how newly formed cellular organelles leave the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and transition onto microtubule tracks inside living cells. This new ...

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

A collaboration unveils a novel strategy for identifying key proteins in organelle communication. This approach advances our ability to pinpoint proteins essential for organelle interactions within ...

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

The sunlight-collecting organelles known as chloroplasts solve a packing problem: how to optimize photosynthesis without ...

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 ...

In work conducted at both UC Santa Barbara and the Physics of Life Excellence Cluster of TU Dresden, biophysicist Otger Campàs and his research group have found that cell nuclei control the ...

The inside of a cell is like a house that has a lot of rooms. Little compartments called organelles are the intracellular versions of organs like the liver or the pancreas in the body. Each organelle ...
