For the first time, researchers have directly visualized how newly formed cellular organelles leave the endoplasmic reticulum ...

Vaults are mysterious cellular structures that can be genetically engineered to store information about a cell’s history.

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 ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Scientists have long sought to decode the complex communication between cellular organelles that regulates virtually all aspects of human health and disease. Mitochondria and ...

Protein aggregates, damaged organelles, and invading bacteria are identified and removed in healthy cells. An international ...

There’s unexpected movement in the world of cell biology — specifically, with the energy factories known as mitochondria. Ever since they were discovered in the mid-nineteenth century, mitochondria ...

Scientists from The First Affiliated Hospital of Dalian Medical University have developed a novel bioengineered system using membrane self-assembly to create neural stem cell-derived oxidative ...

Hemifusomes are fused vesicles, or sacs of fluid, that were previously unknown to exist inside cells. They were discovered using cryo-electron tomography, which literally freezes them in time, and ...
