A newly found organelle, the hemifusome, helps manage cellular recycling. It may play a role in inherited diseases and open ...

An international research team has uncovered a surprising way compartments within cells work together to defend themselves ...

The cells, which were kept at cryogenic temperatures, were imaged in two dimensions using an electron microscope. Superfast cameras then took multiple photos of the frozen cells and their organelles.

The SPECIFIC framework not only provides new tools for studying T cell exhaustion but also establishes a generalizable approach for engineering cell state-responsive synthetic promoters.
