As we go about our day, the trillions of cells in our bodies run like well-oiled machines: continually sensing what's happening around them and making modifications to keep us humming along. Like ...

In recent years, scientists have found that some liquids inside of cells behave like oil and vinegar do - droplets of liquid separate from the rest, creating little droplets in the cytoplasm. While ...

Cells can be grouped into two general categories: prokaryotic cells, which include microbes like bacteria and archaea, or eukaryotic cells, which include plants and animals. A major difference between ...

Organization of the cell's membranes depends on the cytoskeleton, and in particular on cytoskeletal microtubule and microfilament structures, which are involved in intracellular transport. Cells use ...

BUFFALO, N.Y. — The interior of a human cell consists, in part, of a complex soup of millions of molecules. One way these biological compounds stay organized is through membrane-less organelles (MLOs) ...

Researchers at Howard Hughes Medical Institute and the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute for Child Health and Human Development are getting a first glimpse at the inner-workings of live cells ...

Among the proteins that have been identified on LDs are several that are intimately linked to vesicular transport, membrane fusion and cytoskeletal motility. These include members of both the Rab and ...

Plants' ability to sense light and temperature, and their ability to adapt to climate change, hinges on free-forming structures in their cells whose function was, until now, a mystery. Researchers ...

For the first time, scientists have engineered the complex biological process of translation into a designer organelle in a living mammalian cell. Researchers used this technique to create a ...
