Researchers from the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) and their collaborators at Qi Biodesign have developed a strand-specific, CRISPR-free editing system for modifying genomes in the nucleus, ...

In work conducted both at UC Santa Barbara and the Physics of Life Excellence Cluster of TU Dresden, biophysicist Otger Camp s and his research group have found that cell nuclei control the ...

A newly described organelle in mammal cells may serve as a genome defense system and its function may reflect how the early nucleus formed. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an ...

Inside the nucleus, seen here as a purple sphere, is a smaller purple sphere, the nucleolus, which is the most prominent membraneless organelle in our cells. Disclaimer: AAAS and EurekAlert! are not ...

The mitochondrion isn't the bacterium it was in its prime, say two billion years ago. Since getting consumed by our common single-celled ancestor the 'energy powerhouse' organelle has lost most of its ...

"Our new tool allows us to study how changes in mitochondrial abundance and the mitochondrial genome affect cells and organisms," said Jun Wu, Ph.D., Associate Professor of Molecular Biology at UT ...

The new high-resolution three-dimensional microscopy technique of Immunofluorescent Array Tomography has been used successfully to study the diversity of intracellular structures known as organelles.

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 ...

(Nanowerk News) A novel strategy for capturing chemotherapeutics in normal cells rather than further optimizing tumor targeting, may reduce the cytotoxicity for normal cell and improve pharmacotherapy ...
