For the first time, researchers have directly visualized how newly formed cellular organelles leave the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and transition onto microtubule tracks inside living cells. This new ...

Metabolic diseases such as obesity and diabetes are increasingly associated with the intricate dynamics of organelles, including mitochondria, endoplasmic ...

A collaboration unveils a novel strategy for identifying key proteins in organelle communication. This approach advances our ability to pinpoint proteins essential for organelle interactions within ...

Why do cells age—and why do we lose our energy and vitality as we get older? This question is one of the central challenges ...

Every cell in your body runs on tiny power plants called mitochondria. When they sputter, you feel it: fatigue sets in, ...

Hyperspectral imaging has provided an insight into how cells organize and prioritize organelle growth. As cells grow, their organelles also need to grow. But do all the organelles grow at the same ...

Modern biology textbooks assert that only bacteria can take nitrogen from the atmosphere and convert it into a form that is usable for life. Plants that fix nitrogen, such as legumes, do so by ...

Heat and drought stress are major environmental factors that severely limit crop growth, productivity, and global food security. As climate change ...

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 ...

Cattle are responsible for a staggering share of agricultural greenhouse gas emissions, with enteric fermentation alone ...
