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. These ...

Hyperspectral imaging has provided an insight into how cells organize and prioritize organelle growth.

Picture a living cell as if it were a city. If you were the urban planner for this (very little, very alive) city, one of the ...

How are relationships or interactions between different organelles illustrated? What is missing from this model? Evaluating different models helps learners better appreciate and understand the nuanced ...

Our cells carry out hundreds of thousands of important functions every day, all of which are carefully orchestrated at a ...

Organelles are small, specialized structures in cells which operate like organs by carrying out specific tasks. The presence of a defined nucleus distinguishes a eukaryotic from prokaryotic cell.

Organelles in cells were originally often independent cells, which were incorporated by host cells and lost their independence in the course of evolution. A team of biologists headed by Professor Dr.

Eukaryotic cells – i.e. cells with a nucleus – contain a large number of functional sub-units, so-called organelles. They perform important functions within the cell.

A research group has developed a technology for mass-producing uniform artificial cells (lipid bilayer vesicles) with ...

Rather than being like battery chargers, mitochondria are more like the motherboard of the cell.

But a recent discovery upends that rule. In two recent papers, an international team of scientists describe the first known nitrogen-fixing organelle within a eukaryotic cell. The organelle is the ...
