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.
A research team has succeeded in synthesizing simple, environmentally sensitive cells complete with artificial organelles. For the first time, the researchers have also been able to emulate ...
Within the sender cells are nanocontainers—essentially artificial organelles—whose membranes contain special light-sensitive molecules known as molecular motors.
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 ...
The Golgi apparatus modifies, sorts and packages proteins to be sent to their final destinations, whether that's within or outside of the cell. It's a core function, but little studied in the setting ...
