The cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells is elaborately subdivided into membrane-bound compartments called organelles, each precisely tailored for a defined set of biochemical reactions. Cells must maintain ...

Prior to using this narrative, have learners create their own model of a cell in their notebooks using whatever background information or experience they might have. While exploring the narrative, ...

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 ...

Our cells carry special structures called organelles, with each different organelle performing various specialized, critical functions. The ribosome, for example, is involved in generating proteins.

Human and animal cells are compartmentalized by several different membrane-bound entities called organelles, each responsible for specific cellular tasks. Until now, it was unclear how the individual ...

Organelles are compartments and structures inside cells that perform varied and vital functions, including energy production, storage and transportation of important substances and removal of waste ...

A new study sheds light on the mechanisms that regulate how our tissues develop and are constantly renewed to keep up their function. In the future, these results might contribute to the understanding ...

Biomedical engineers at Duke University have demonstrated a method for controlling the phase separation of an emerging class of proteins to create artificial membrane-less organelles within human ...

The NSL (non-specific lethal) complex regulates thousands of genes in fruit flies and mammals. Silencing the NSL genes leads to the death of the organism, which gave the complex its curious name.
