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 ...

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.

Inside of cells, organelles perform specialized functions to keep biological functions moving, one of which is the ribosome. Ribosomes are tiny machines known for making proteins. Another organelle is ...

Researchers at University of Tsukuba have developed DeMemSeg, an AI-powered analysis pipeline that addresses a long-standing ...

Midbodies, once considered the rubbish of cell division, might have a function beyond their role in getting daughter cells to separate. Researchers show in today's Nature Cell Biology that stem cells ...

Mitochondria are cell organelles surrounded by a double membrane. In addition to numerous essential functions in the metabolism of the cell, they also play a key role in the integration of signals ...

Scientists at the University of Basel in Switzerland have created artificial organelles (AOs) that can function as tiny intracellular implants in living organisms. When tested in zebrafish embryos, ...

The discovery of an unknown organelle inside our cells could open the door to new treatments for devastating inherited diseases. The organelle, a type of specialized structure, has been dubbed a ...

Eukaryotes are organisms whose cells possess a nucleus enclosed within a cell membrane, making up one of the three domains of life, Eukaryota. They include multicellular organisms such as plants, ...

Scientists at the University of Virginia School of Medicine have discovered a strange new organelle inside our cells that helps to prevent cancer by ensuring that genetic material is sorted correctly ...
