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, ...

Hyperspectral imaging has provided an insight into how cells organize and prioritize organelle growth. As cells grow, their organelles also need to grow. But do all the organelles grow at the same ...

"Our new tool allows us to study how changes in mitochondrial abundance and the mitochondrial genome affect cells and organisms," said Jun Wu, Ph.D., Associate Professor of Molecular Biology at UT ...

The interactions within and between the organelles inside our cells could hold the key to understanding complex diseases such as cancer and neurodegeneration. Recent advances in imaging techniques are ...

Scientists at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital have added another piece to the puzzle, showing how metabolic factors influence tissue immunity in an intricate interplay between nutrient ...

Peking University, April 2, 2025: A team from Peking University’s College of Future Technology, led by Professor Xi Peng, in collaboration with Professor Jin Dayong at the Eastern Institute of ...

Cells require lipids to maintain their integrity and separate cellular functions for appropriate homeostasis and regulation. Advances in lipid detection methods and techniques to probe lipid functions ...

Lysosomes are membrane-bound organelles whose acidic lumen (pH 4.5–5.0) is required for degradation. This luminal acidity is ...

A new study has uncovered a hidden step that helps the deadliest malaria parasite survive and multiply inside the human body. Researchers studying Plasmodium falciparum found that the parasite relies ...

Improvements in public health have allowed humankind to survive to older ages than ever before, but, for many people, these added golden years are not spent in good health. Aging is a natural part of ...
