University of Virginia scientists discover new cell organelle called "hemifusome" that helps manage cellular recycling.

Even after decades of research, biologists are still uncovering surprises about the human body. A team of researchers from ...

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

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

Using the Celestron PentaView LCD digital microscope to send previously photographed cheek cell specimens, at 200X magnification, to a laptop and Smartboard, directly from the microscope’s SD ...

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 ...

Every 3 years, the volunteers had their blood cell methylome (collection of gene-modifying chemicals in the blood) analyzed at about 450,000 DNA methylation sites.

The organelle is the fourth example in history of primary endosymbiosis — the process by which a prokaryotic cell is engulfed by a eukaryotic cell and evolves beyond symbiosis into an organelle. “It’s ...

Digital holographic microscopy (DHM) is a 3D method for imaging cells without using labels. It gives detailed information about cell shape and behavior. This study has explored two applications of 3D ...

These organelles, called recycling endosomes, are responsible for sorting and moving ion channels to and from the cell surface, but no one had tested whether or not these ion channels were actively ...
