Scientists say they captured 3D images of a new organelle they're calling a "hemifusome," which may be a recycling center in ...

The discovery of an unknown organelle inside our cells could open the door to new treatments for devastating inherited ...

A longside organelles such as mitochondria and Golgi apparatuses, membraneless structures help compartmentalize the cytoplasm, as well as the interior of the nucleus. In contrast to organelles with a ...

A new organelle has been found by scientists at the University of Virginia (UVA). The super-small specialized structure has a ...

A new study led by Harvard biologists describes how some sea slugs consume algae and incorporate their photosynthetic ...

A previously unknown structure discovered in our cells could pave the way toward new treatments for various genetic disorders ...

Lipid synthesis and transport to various membrane-bound organelles Endosome transport from the Golgi or Plasma Membrane to the Lysosome Using animated or active models in conjunction with ...

Yet researchers may have found a new case in which an organelle devoted to fixing nitrogen from the atmosphere is in the process of evolving. The resulting organelle, termed a nitroplast, is still ...

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 ...

Each organelle serves a certain purpose in order for the cells, and overall organism, to function. The major organelles found in human cells are: Cytoplasm: A jelly-like fluid that fills the ...

Membrane-bound organelles were the textbook standard of how scientists thought cells were organized until they realized in the mid-2000s that some organelles don't need to be wrapped in a membrane ...

A new organelle? In the paper published in Cell, a team of scientists show that this process is occurring yet again. They looked at a species of algae called Braarudosphaera bigelowii.
