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 ...

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.

Researchers at University of Tsukuba have achieved high-resolution visualization of cellular organelles, such as nuclei and ...

Human and animal cells are compartmentalized by several different membrane-bound entities called organelles, each responsible for specific cellular tasks. Until now, it was unclear how the individual ...

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 ...

Abstract Assembly-disassembly dynamics driven by fuel-driven out-of-equilibrium processes play a key role in biological function. Here, we present a ...

Understanding organelle biogenesis is a central focus of cell biology. Whereas some are generated from existing organelles, others can be generated de novo. Most de novo organelle biogenesis occurs in ...

With emerging high-throughput sequencing and phenotyping techniques, it becomes promising to apply gene functional module analysis to explore the system-level functionality of gene groups in ...

One of the many challenges of medical science is creating antibiotics that kill infectious diseases but leave useful bacteria alone. Even if a treatment is effective at neutralizing the intruder, its ...
