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, ...

For the first time, researchers have directly visualized how newly formed cellular organelles leave the endoplasmic reticulum ...

Researchers at the University of Geneva have developed a technique that enables visualization of cellular organelles at a resolution that has not previously been achievable in optical microscopy.

A study explores how membraneless organelles (MLOs) or biomolecular condensates, form and organize themselves. The research lays out physical rules controlling the arrangement of various types of ...

Although known since the 1830s as a round, dark spot in a cell's nucleus, only recently has the nucleolus gotten its full due. Scientists have learned that besides building a cell's protein factories, ...

These include stress granules and proteasome storage granules (PSGs). In the past, these membraneless organelles were only visible as “droplets” using a fluorescence microscope. Now, researchers from ...

Scientists have created a set of tools to make annotated 3D images of cells, showing the relationships between different organelles. Open any introductory biology textbook, and you'll see a familiar ...

Organelles perform the fundamental processes that help cells (and hence organs, tissues, and organisms) stay alive and operative. In the past several decades, transmission electron microscopy (TEM) ...

Think back to that basic biology class you took in high school. You probably learned about organelles, those little “organs” inside cells that form compartments with individual functions. For example, ...

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 ...
