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, ...

For the first time, scientists have engineered the complex biological process of translation into a designer organelle in a living mammalian cell. Researchers used this technique to create a ...

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

Living organisms are composed of cells, and on the inside of them is cytoplasm, which is about 80 percent water. The cytoplasm is full of a molecular mixture of organelles, proteins, compounds, and ...

Hijacking the energy-producing organelles from immune cells seems to help tumours in mice to infiltrate lymph nodes.

The complex cells that underlie animals and plants have a large collection of what are called organelles—compartments surrounded by membranes that perform specialized functions. Two of these were ...

Scientists explore the creation of artificial organelles. Artificial organelles generated from Exosome fusion can function as energy reserves in the damaged tissues. The human body is made of numerous ...

Cells have membrane-bound compartments, called organelles, that allow certain biochemical processes to proceed without interference from other cell chemistry. For example, lipids are synthesized in ...

BUFFALO, N.Y. — Liquid droplets of protein and RNA have traits reminiscent of a childhood joy: Silly Putty. That’s according to a study by scientists at the University at Buffalo and Iowa State ...

A Rochester Institute of Technology scientist hopes that a better understanding of how living cells maintain the size of their organelles can lead to therapies for neurodegenerative diseases.
