Scientists at the Sloan Kettering Institute have discovered a new organelle. The finding challenges longstanding ideas about cell structure. Many people probably remember cell organelles from high ...

A light microscopy image shows the marine algae Braarudosphaera bigelowii, which is a potentially large evolutionary step. This algae absorbed a bacterium called UCYN-A and formed a new organelle ...

In recent years, scientists have found that some liquids inside of cells behave like oil and vinegar do - droplets of liquid separate from the rest, creating little droplets in the cytoplasm. While ...

Membraneless organelles, also called biomolecular condensates, are changing how scientists think about protein chemistry, ...

A new organelle has been discovered in human cells — and scientists call it a "hemifusome." Like the full-size organs in our bodies, the organelles within cells are specialized structures that carry ...

The mitochondria is a cell organelle that is known as the "powerhouse of the cell," known to be essential to every single living eukaryote. But is it really that essential? Scientists at the Charles ...

"Our new tool allows us to study how changes in mitochondrial abundance and the mitochondrial genome affect cells and organisms," said Jun Wu, Ph.D., Associate Professor of Molecular Biology at UT ...

Cells in symbiotic partnership, nested one within the other and functioning like organelles, can borrow from their host’s genes to complete their own metabolic pathways. There are few relationships in ...

Previously, chemists have managed to create artificial cell walls and developed synthetic DNA to produce self-replicating, synthetic bacterial cells. Now, for the first time, researchers have used ...

Imagine your liver being just a big puddle. Some organelles in your cells are exactly that including prominent ones like the nucleolus. Now a synthetic organelle engineered in a lab shows how such ...

For the first time, scientists have engineered the complex biological process of translation into a designer organelle in a living mammalian cell. Researchers used this technique to create a ...
