Compartmentalization of proteins into organelles is a promising strategy for enhancing the productivity of engineered eukaryotic organisms. However, approaches that co-opt endogenous organelles may be ...

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 ...

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 ...

Researchers report that the Golgi ribbon, an organelle structure previously thought to be exclusive to vertebrates, is also present in animal taxa, including mollusks, earthworms, and sea urchins. The ...

Think back to that basic biology class you took in high school. You probably learned about organelles, those little “organs” inside cells that form compartments with individual functions. For example, ...

Lewy bodies (LB) have been recognized as the main pathological hallmark of Parkinson’s disease (PD) and dementia with Lewy Bodies (DLB) following their microscopic discovery over 100 years ago. The ...

Scientists at the Department of Genetics, Blavatnik Institute at Harvard Medical School have discovered something remarkable while studying phosphate transport in fruit fly intestines—a never before ...
