University of Virginia scientists discover new cell organelle called "hemifusome" that helps manage cellular recycling.

Sacoglossan sea slugs, discreet inhabitants of coral reefs, hide an astonishing secret. Unlike other animals, they can "steal ...

The discovery of an unknown organelle inside our cells could open the door to new treatments for devastating inherited ...

During the cell cycle, organelles such as the endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi apparatus must be replicated and partitioned into the daughter cells. Different mechanisms have evolved in yeasts ...

The complex cells that underlie animals and plants have a large collection of what are called organelles—compartments surrounded by membranes that perform specialized functions.

Chloroplast . This double-membraned plant organelle in is similar in some ways to the mitochondria of animal cells. The outer membrane of the chloroplast is freely permeable to small molecules via ...

Even if these organelles could find a way to survive such an attack, they are unlikely to be able to function in the ...

Learn about the ultrastructure and organelles of animal, plant, fungal and bacterial cells. BBC Bitesize Scotland revision for SQA National 5 Biology.

Researchers at Washington University in St. Louis (MO, USA) have used rainbow yeast and hyperspectral imaging to gain insights into how organelles grow in eukaryotic cells. The coordination of ...

This fluorescence image shows chloroplasts (magenta colored) successfully incorporated into the hamster cells, with other features of the animal cell also highlighted (nuclei in light blue and ...

Even if these organelles could find a way to survive such an attack, they are unlikely to be able to function in the relatively hot environment of an animal cell, where temperatures are typically ...
