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 ...

Human and animal cells are compartmentalized by several different membrane-bound entities called organelles, each responsible for specific cellular tasks. Until now, it was unclear how the individual ...

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 ...

With emerging high-throughput sequencing and phenotyping techniques, it becomes promising to apply gene functional module analysis to explore the system-level functionality of gene groups in ...

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, ...

See more details Toxoplasma gondii replicates through endodyogeny, an unconventional form of internal budding in which two daughter cells are assembled within a single mother cell. During this process ...

One of the many challenges of medical science is creating antibiotics that kill infectious diseases but leave useful bacteria alone. Even if a treatment is effective at neutralizing the intruder, its ...
