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, ...

Scientists have long known that cellular membranes vary in thickness, but measuring those differences inside actual cells has ...

Lysosomes are membrane-bound organelles whose acidic lumen (pH 4.5–5.0) is required for degradation. This luminal acidity is ...

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 ...

Scientists at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital have shown that nutrient availability and organelle biology affect the development of tissue-resident memory T cells. “We are excited to introduce a ...

Prokaryotes are ancient, simple forms of life that include bacteria and archaea. These cellular life forms lack membrane-bound organelles. Those organelles, which include the nucleus and the ...

A Scripps team has adapted advanced imaging and computation to measure cell membrane thickness inside intact animal and yeast ...

The kidney's proximal tubule reabsorbs water, glucose, ions and other small molecules from the urine and thus maintains the ...
