Infrared vibrational spectroscopy at BESSY II can be used to create high-resolution maps of molecules inside live cells and cell organelles in their native aqueous environment, according to a new ...

The mitochondria is a cell organelle that is known as the "powerhouse of the cell," known to be essential to every single living eukaryote. But is it really that essential? Scientists at the Charles ...

Researchers at University of Tsukuba have achieved high-resolution visualization of cellular organelles, such as nuclei and ...

In a new study, researchers have succeeded in creating artificial cell organelles and using them for their own devised biochemical reactions. Cells of higher organisms use cell organelles to separate ...

Janelia researchers have uncovered a novel way that two of the structures inside cells—the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and lysosomes—coordinate the production of proteins, highlighting how interactions ...

New findings about critical cellular structures have upended common assumptions about their formation and composition and provided new insight how molecular machines are built in living cells.

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 ...

Biomedical engineers have demonstrated a method for controlling the phase separation of an emerging class of proteins to create artificial membrane-less organelles within human cells. The advance, ...

Researchers developed LipiPB Red, a fluorescent probe that tracks lipid droplet composition and breakdown in real time inside ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. The human body can be thought of as a complex chemical factory with different processes occurring simultaneously at the ...
