A team led by HHMI Janelia Research Campus Fellow Daniel Feliciano developed a new, cost-effective technique that uses ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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. It ...

Gear-obsessed editors choose every product we review. We may earn commission if you buy from a link. Why Trust Us? Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: Hemifusomes are fused vesicles, or ...

Organelles perform the fundamental processes that help cells (and hence organs, tissues, and organisms) stay alive and operative. In the past several decades, transmission electron microscopy (TEM) ...

The interactions within and between the organelles inside our cells could hold the key to understanding complex diseases such as cancer and neurodegeneration. Recent advances in imaging techniques are ...

Open any introductory biology textbook, and you’ll see a familiar diagram: A blobby-looking cell filled with brightly colored structures – the inner machinery that makes the cell tick. Cell biologists ...
