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 ...

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 ...

Two studies by scientists at the University of Chicago have demonstrated a new way to look into the inner workings of cells—in particular, to track the flow of ions inside the many tiny organelles ...

The discovery of an unknown organelle inside our cells could open the door to new treatments for devastating inherited diseases. The organelle, a type of specialized structure, has been dubbed a ...

The interactions within and between the organelles inside our cells could hold the key to understanding complex diseases such as cancer and neurodegeneration. Recent advances in imaging techniques are ...

In organelle imaging, segmentation aims to accurately delineate pixels or voxels corresponding to target organelles from background, noise, and other cellular structures in microscopy images, thereby ...

The super-small specialized structure has a role recycling material inside our cells, and its discovery could lead to improved treatments for a wide range of diseases. Just as our bodies have organs ...

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 ...
