Researchers report February 29 in the journal Cell Reports that the Golgi ribbon, an organelle structure previously thought to be exclusive to vertebrates, is also present in animal taxa, including ...

The study found that when certain genes related to these fats were turned off in cells, it caused problems in various organelles. "These gene changes led to a decrease in specific fats in the cells, ...

Neuroscientists have discovered a novel organelle -- a previously unknown cell structure whose function it is to help clean up faulty proteins in times of stress and keep cells functioning in top ...

Diplonemid flagellates are among the most abundant marine microeukaryote species in world ocean habitats. 1 Diplonemids are recognized for their complex organelle structure and mitochondrial DNA. 2 ...

Organelles perform the fundamental processes that help cells (and hence organs, tissues, and organisms) stay alive and operative. In the past several decades, transmission electron microscopy (TEM) ...

Cells constantly shuttle around the body to complete different tasks, from wound healing to metastasis. Within each cell exists a bustling, dynamic metropolis of organelles, small molecular structures ...

Cilia are organelles that provide eukaryotic cells with motility, sensory reception and intracellular transduction of external stimuli. They are constructed and maintained by the bi-directional ...
