Challenge individuals or small groups create a dynamic movable model of the different organelles and cell structures that emulate the real movement, function, and dynamic nature of each structure. As ...

By using a genetic technique developed at UT Southwestern Medical Center that forces cells to rid themselves of mitochondria, researchers are gaining new insights into the function of these critical ...

A previously unknown structure discovered in our cells could pave the way toward new treatments for various genetic disorders ...

At the heart of our cells, a previously unknown structure has just been identified, shedding new light on essential ...

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 ...

Scientists say they captured 3D images of a new organelle they're calling a "hemifusome," which may be a recycling center in ...

Unlike other organelles (miniature organs within the cell), mitochondria have two membranes, an outer one and an inner one. Each membrane has different functions.

In a twist, researchers at the University of Virginia and the National Institutes of Health uncovered a new organelle, dubbed ...

In two recent papers, an international team led by UC Santa Cruz scientists describe the first known nitrogen-fixing organelle within a eukaryotic cell. The organelle is the fourth example in history ...

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 things you would have to decide is how to allocate space for different ...
