The inside of a cell is packed with stuff; from big organelles to small molecules, the cytoplasm is the suspension which contains all those components. Researchers at MIT wanted to know more about how ...

Space to play or pause, M to mute, left and right arrows to seek, up and down arrows for volume. That's an interesting question. And the answer is, yes and no. When we look at them closely through an ...

Cells are filled with membrane-bound organelles like the nucleus, mitochondria and endoplasmic reticula. Over the years, scientists have made much progress in understanding the biomolecular details of ...

The interior of a cell is packed with proteins and nucleic acids, such as RNA, all of which need to perform specific ...

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, ...

BUFFALO, N.Y. — New research may help to explain an intriguing phenomenon inside human cells: how wall-less liquid organelles are able to coexist as separate entities instead of just merging together.

A team of researchers led by the University of California San Diego has discovered a new way to make yeast cells more ...

Lipids are fatty molecules that play critical roles in cell function, including membrane structure, energy storage and ...

The duplication and inheritance of both the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and Golgi apparatus is coupled to cell-cycle progression. Although the exact mechanisms underlying ER and Golgi inheritance ...

Infrared vibrational spectroscopy at BESSY II can be used to create high-resolution maps of molecules inside live cells and ...

From plants and bacteria to animals and humans, our world is filled with many living things. In fact, there are approximately 8.7 million species of plants and animals in existence, and only 1.2 ...
