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

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 ...

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 ...

New genomic studies show that hydrogenosomes, hydrogen‑producing organelles in some anaerobic eukaryotes, have evolved multiple times from mitochondria through gene transfer and loss. Research on ...

A pioneering study has shed new light on how subcellular organelles divide and multiply. A pioneering study has shed new light on how subcellular organelles divide and multiply. The study, led by ...

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 ...

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 ...
