Ever since they were discovered in the mid-nineteenth century, mitochondria have been known as organelles that reside inside cells. But that textbook picture now seems to be wrong. An explosion of ...

The group has previously discovered that the maturation stage of another metabolic organelle, mitochondria, influences cell fate decisions in mammalian stem cells cultured in the laboratory. “However, ...

A new class of molecules capable of killing the cancer cells that are refractory to standard treatments and responsible for recurrence has just been developed. This crucial advance in the fight ...

How is the cytoskeleton illustrated? How might motion or movement of different components be illustrated? How are relationships or interactions between different organelles illustrated? What is ...

Innovative weight-loss drugs burst onto the scene about 10 years ago, promising a healthier, slimmer world. The downside, ...

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 Technology, has achieved a major ...

In contrast to organelles with a lipid bilayer membrane, membraneless structures are formed through a process known as liquid-liquid phase separation. When it comes to how and why cells create and use ...

The Jokitalo group studies structure-function interplay of organelles in mammalian cells. Our main model organelle is the endoplasmic reticulum. We employ a wide range of basic biological techniques ...

The development of synthetic cells is in its infancy, and researchers are tackling the challenge from two ... and his colleagues, is to add synthetic organelles. “The advantage of using this bottom-up ...
