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.
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.
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 ...
Modern day drug discovery is shifting from single end point assays to more complex phenotypic assays that query single cell ...
Many experts believed it couldn't be done, but researchers in Japan have successfully introduced chloroplasts into hamster ...
Researchers investigating ways to reduce exhaustion in cancer-fighting T-cells found that the Golgi apparatus can be used as ...
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 ...
