One of the most momentous events in the history of life involved endosymbiosis—a process by which one organism engulfed ...
Scientists found molecular evidence supporting the idea that chloroplasts originated as energy-generating organelles and only later evolved to support carbon assimilation in plant cells.
In Japan, researchers have conducted an experiment as bizarre as it is fascinating, creating hybrid cells that are part ...
Researchers from the Structural Biology Brussels group at Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB) have uncovered a significant ...
Cells, the building blocks of our body, contain organelles—small structures performing crucial functions. Until recently, it was believed that organelles were always surrounded by a protective ...
According to the study, the combined effect of mitochondrial dysfunction and RAAS overactivation triggers the cytokine storm ...
A recent study published in eLife has uncovered a crucial mechanism in cellular material management: endosome maturation. The ...
In photosynthesis, harnessing the power of the Sun is made possible by the flow of electrons from one protein to another inside an organelle called the chloroplast. This organelle contains a complex ...
Using advanced cell imaging techniques and computer modeling, the researchers showed that the folding and ...
Enzymes are large biological molecules—usually proteins—that speed up chemical reactions. Molecules that speed up chemical ...
FipA is a novel component required for bacteria that rely on FlhF/FlhG to properly localize their flagella to the cell pole.
Researchers at Tel Aviv University have developed an innovative research model that allowed them to decode the mechanism ...
