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

In recent years, scientists have found that some liquids inside of cells behave like oil and vinegar do - droplets of liquid separate from the rest, creating little droplets in the cytoplasm. While ...

Cells can be grouped into two general categories: prokaryotic cells, which include microbes like bacteria and archaea, or eukaryotic cells, which include plants and animals. A major difference between ...

BUFFALO, N.Y. — In cells, numerous important biochemical functions take place within spherical chambers made from proteins and RNA. These compartments are akin to specialized rooms inside a house, but ...

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) ...

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 ...

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 ...

A new review outlines design principles and applications of synthetic membraneless organelles built through liquid-liquid phase separation for use in biotechnology.

Researchers at Howard Hughes Medical Institute and the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute for Child Health and Human Development are getting a first glimpse at the inner-workings of live cells ...

Think back to that basic biology class you took in high school. You probably learned about organelles, those little “organs” inside cells that form compartments with individual functions. For example, ...
