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

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 ...

Modern cells are complex chemical entities with cytoskeletons, finely regulated internal and external molecules, and genetic ...

Cells do more than carry out chemical reactions. New theoretical work suggests they may also generate usable electrical ...

Measuring membrane thickness was previously only possible in artificial membranes—now scientists can do it inside intact cells, providing crucial context for understanding how cells work.

Modern cells are complex chemical entities with cytoskeletons, finely regulated internal and external molecules, and genetic ...

Knowing which lysosomal proteins are enriched in which brain cell types will help better understand contribution to neurological disorders.

Cancer cells have softer membranes than healthy cells. New nanoparticles exploit this physical difference to fuse selectively ...

Scientists suggest increasing what is understood about exocytosis could one day inform many fields of applied science.

Three Ohio State researchers earned the NAI fellow, the highest distinction awarded to inventors for their work in various fields. Dehua Pei, a professor in chemistry and biochemistry, was elected to ...

Researchers have developed technologies that allow damaged proteins to be shredded or healthy ones installed. This may ...

When cells are about to die, they send signals that trigger proteins which are supposed to destroy them, but it doesn’t always happen that way. Some cells activate the signal but then resist the ...
