Findings from a new University of Cincinnati study have reshaped the fundamental understanding of how a certain cell ...

Cells use compartments known as organelles to sequester molecules or reactions as a way to control many biochemical processes. Scientists would like to do the same by engineering synthetic organelles ...

Jan. 20 (UPI) --Researchers from the University of Exeter in England have discovered how two specific cell organelles work together to produce specific lipids. Cell organelles are the functional units ...

Cell polarity can be defined as a structurally and functionally asymmetric organization, in which the non-random positioning of each organelle, the function of which contributes to cell asymmetry, is ...

Researchers discovered that fedratinib promotes endoplasmic reticulum–mitochondria contact sites. The drug inhibits BRD4, ...

Microbiologists at LMU and UoG have discovered a recycling process in the eukaryotic parasite Toxoplasma gondii that plays a vital role in the organism's unusual mode of reproduction. In order to ...

Cells have membrane-bound compartments, called organelles, that allow certain biochemical processes to proceed without interference from other cell chemistry. For example, lipids are synthesized in ...

Two studies by scientists at the University of Chicago have demonstrated a new way to look into the inner workings of cells—in particular, to track the flow of ions inside the many tiny organelles ...

For the first time, scientists have engineered the complex biological process of translation into a designer organelle in a living mammalian cell. Researchers used this technique to create a ...

Chinese researchers have developed a novel and highly efficient mitochondrial capsule transplantation therapy, achieving the ...

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 ...
