Scientists have created a set of tools to make annotated 3D images of cells, showing the relationships between different organelles. Open any introductory biology textbook, and you'll see a familiar ...

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.

The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) forms tight membrane contact sites (MCSs) with several organelles in animal cells and yeast. The function of MCSs between the ER and mitochondria and endosomes are ...

For the first time, scientists have demonstrated a simple charge-based mechanism for regulating the formation and dissolution of liquid-like structures that lack outer membranes inside cells. The ...

The inside of a cell is packed with stuff; from big organelles to small molecules, the cytoplasm is the suspension which contains all those components. Researchers at MIT wanted to know more about how ...

The analysis of cryo-X-Ray-microscopy data still requires a lot of time. Scientists developed a convolutional neural network, which identifies structures at high accuracy within a few minutes. BESSY ...

Organelles are small, specialized structures in cells which operate like organs by carrying out specific tasks. The presence of a defined nucleus distinguishes a eukaryotic from prokaryotic cell. It ...

A Rochester Institute of Technology scientist hopes that a better understanding of how living cells maintain the size of their organelles can lead to therapies for neurodegenerative diseases.

Open any introductory biology textbook, and you’ll see a familiar diagram: A blobby-looking cell filled with brightly colored structures – the inner machinery that makes the cell tick. Cell biologists ...
