Scientists have identified a new type of cellular organelle inside microbes that live in the guts of ruminant animals such as ...

Just as the human body relies on organs such as the heart or liver for essential functions, cells depend on their own tiny ...

In cows’ guts, ciliates contain a tiny organelle called a hydrogenobody that may drive production of methane, a potent ...

Discovery bolsters theory that ancient mitochondria formed brand-new, specialized ‘sacs’ in cells by shedding their outer ...

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 ...

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 ...

Researchers have uncovered a driver of methane emissions in livestock: a newly identified organelle, the hydrogenobody, which fuels methane production ...

Bacteria are only the only organisms that are able to 'fix' nitrogen, or remove it from the atmosphere and convert it into a useful form. While some plants seem to fix nitrogen, it is actually ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Scientists have long sought to decode the complex communication between cellular organelles that regulates virtually all aspects of human health and disease. Mitochondria and ...

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 ...
