A cell biologist peering at an electron micrograph, or a biochemist fractionating pulverized cells, is faced with the problem of distinguishing between diverse membrane-bound organelles. Proteins ...

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 ...

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.

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

A quick revision guide covering key concepts, biomolecules, cell organelles, and essential NEET-style MCQs to boost exam ...

Infrared vibrational spectroscopy at BESSY II can be used to create high-resolution maps of molecules inside live cells and cell organelles in their native aqueous environment, according to a new ...

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 ...
