Researchers at the University of Geneva have developed a technique that enables visualization of cellular organelles at a resolution that has not previously been achievable in optical microscopy.

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 ...

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 ...

Organelles – the bits and pieces of RNA and protein within a cell – play important roles in human health and disease, such as maintaining homeostasis, regulating growth and aging, and generating ...

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

Peroxisomes, since their discovery by Rhodin and De Duve, have been recognized as essential organelles involved in a myriad of biochemical processes vital for maintaining cellular homeostasis.

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

One way biological compounds inside cells stay organized is through membrane-less organelles (MLOs) -- wall-less liquid droplets made from proteins and RNA that clump together and stay separate from ...

Mitochondria are essential for cell survival, repair, and adaptation. Not only do they generate most of the energy needed ...
