A new organelle has been discovered in human cells — and scientists call it a "hemifusome."Like the full-size organs in our ...

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

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 ...

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

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

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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

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 ...
