Potato chips, electrolytes after a workout, the taste of our tears: How do the compartments of our cells work when there’s salt around? Recent research by the Krishnan Group, published in Nature ...

Scientists have long known that cellular membranes vary in thickness, but measuring those differences inside actual cells has ...

A pioneering study has revealed how cellular compartments (organelles) are able to control how much they interact and cooperate. A pioneering study has revealed how cellular compartments (organelles) ...

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

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 ...

Mitochondrial dysfunction is associated with various chronic diseases and cancers, including neurodegenerative diseases and ...

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, ...

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 ...

Scientists at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital have shown that nutrient availability and organelle biology affect the development of tissue-resident memory T cells. “We are excited to introduce a ...

The discovery of an unknown organelle inside our cells could open the door to new treatments for devastating inherited diseases. The organelle, a type of specialized structure, has been dubbed a ...

Bacteria are only the only organisms that are able to 'fix' nitrogen, or remove it from the atmosphere and convert it into a useful form. While some plants seem to fix nitrogen, it is actually ...
