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.

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 ...

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 ...

Live-cell imaging reveals that a functional interaction occurs between two different organelles: contact between the endoplasmic reticulum and mitochondria is needed for mitochondrial DNA replication ...

For the first time, researchers have directly visualized how newly formed cellular organelles leave the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and transition onto microtubule tracks inside living cells. This new ...

Scientists at the University of Basel in Switzerland have created artificial organelles (AOs) that can function as tiny intracellular implants in living organisms. When tested in zebrafish embryos, ...

Cells are filled with membrane-bound organelles like the nucleus, mitochondria and endoplasmic reticula. Over the years, scientists have made much progress in understanding the biomolecular details of ...

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 ...

A collaboration unveils a novel strategy for identifying key proteins in organelle communication. This approach advances our ability to pinpoint proteins essential for organelle interactions within ...

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 ...

Plants’ ability to sense light and temperature, and their ability to adapt to climate change, hinges on free-forming structures in their cells whose function was, until now, a mystery. For the first ...
