Organelles in cells were originally often independent cells, which were incorporated by host cells and lost their independence in the course of evolution. Biologists are now examining the way in which ...

The table below list organelles, their function and the types of cell that they can be found in. Can you fill in the blanks to complete the table? Cell structure Description Function Cell type ...

In addition to the nucleus, eukaryotic cells may contain several other types of organelles, which may include mitochondria, chloroplasts, the endoplasmic reticulum, the Golgi apparatus ...

1 Despite having been overlooked for the last century, this has turned out to be a prescient description of the interior of eukaryotic cells. In addition to membrane-encased organelles—the nucleus, ...

Damage to the mitochondria, the “power plants” of the cells, contributes to many diseases. Researchers from Heinrich Heine ...

In contrast to organelles with a lipid bilayer membrane, membraneless structures are formed through a process known as liquid-liquid phase separation. When it comes to how and why cells create and use ...

New imaging tech reveals living cell processes, enhancing understanding of cancer, neurodegenerative & metabolic diseases for ...

Previous mouse studies have shown that, when conditions in cells are normal, removing, or “knocking out,” any one of the ...

Organelles in cells were originally often independent cells, which were incorporated by host cells and lost their independence in the course of evolution. A team of biologists headed by Professor ...
