Cells behave like cities and organelles carry out infrastructural roles: mitochondria are powerhouses, the endoplasmic ...

The analysis of cryo-X-Ray-microscopy data still requires a lot of time. Scientists developed a convolutional neural network, which identifies structures at high accuracy within a few minutes. BESSY ...

Potato chips, electrolytes after a workout, the taste of our tears: How do the compartments of our cells work when there’s salt around? Recent research by the Krishnan Group, published in Nature ...

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 ...

Scientists from The First Affiliated Hospital of Dalian Medical University have developed a novel bioengineered system using membrane self-assembly to create neural stem cell-derived oxidative ...

A new review outlines design principles and applications of synthetic membraneless organelles built through liquid-liquid phase separation for use in biotechnology.

Mitochondria are essential for cell survival, repair, and adaptation. Not only do they generate most of the energy needed ...

A new organelle has been discovered in human cells — and scientists call it a "hemifusome." Like the full-size organs in our bodies, the organelles within cells are specialized structures that carry ...

Bacteria are only the only organisms that are able to 'fix' nitrogen, or remove it from the atmosphere and convert it into a useful form. While some plants seem to fix nitrogen, it is actually ...

Picture a living cell as if it were a city. If you were the urban planner for this (very little, very alive) city, one of the things you would have to decide is how to allocate space for different ...
