Think back to that basic biology class you took in high school. You probably learned about organelles, those little “organs” inside cells that form compartments with individual functions. For example, ...
Lysosomes are membrane-bound organelles whose acidic lumen (pH 4.5–5.0) is required for degradation. This luminal acidity is ...
Scientists have long known that cellular membranes vary in thickness, but measuring those differences inside actual cells has ...
Hyperspectral imaging has provided an insight into how cells organize and prioritize organelle growth. As cells grow, their organelles also need to grow. But do all the organelles grow at the same ...
A Scripps team has adapted advanced imaging and computation to measure cell membrane thickness inside intact animal and yeast ...
A team from Würzburg has fundamentally changed our understanding of platelet biology. The researchers demonstrate that the ...
Hemifusomes are fused vesicles, or sacs of fluid, that were previously unknown to exist inside cells. They were discovered using cryo-electron tomography, which literally freezes them in time, and ...
The lab has developed ultra-small DNA nanodevices that can function inside living cells, illuminating biological processes.
