After a century of false starts, scientists believe they have found a way to make cells burn more energy without the ...

There’s unexpected movement in the world of cell biology — specifically, with the energy factories known as mitochondria. Ever since they were discovered in the mid-nineteenth century, mitochondria ...

Biologists have long treated the cell as a chemical factory, but a new wave of research is forcing a rethink of that familiar ...

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 ...

The article begins by introducing SGs as cytoplasmic ribonucleoprotein granules formed through phase separation in response to stress. It discusses SGs’ roles in RNA metabolism, translation regulation ...

Hemifusomes are fused vesicles, or sacs of fluid, that were previously unknown to exist inside cells. They were discovered using cryo-electron tomography, which literally freezes them in time, and ...

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 ...

Clonell launches the world’s first patient-specific embryonic stem cell therapy platform, aimed at incurable diseases with ...

Researchers at the VIB-KU Leuven Center for Cancer Biology have uncovered how a unique interaction between two cellular compartments, namely the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and mitochondria, can act as ...

Scientists have been peeking through microscopes and taking pictures of cells for decades. The methods available for visualizing highly complex cells have changed over time, moving from simpler ...

Researchers uncovered a key cellular regulator, PP2A-B55alpha, that controls both the cleanup of damaged mitochondria and the creation of new ones. In Parkinson’s disease models, reducing this ...
