Researchers at the University of Geneva have developed a technique that enables visualization of cellular organelles at a resolution that has not previously been achievable in optical microscopy.

Animal cells are tiny, complex worlds with specialized parts working together to keep life going. From the flexible cell membrane to energy-making mitochondria and waste-clearing lysosomes, each ...

In eukaryotic cells, which are found in complex organisms including humans, little membrane-bound organelles carry out various functions. It's been suggested that these organelles, which all have ...

Just as the human body relies on organs such as the heart or liver for essential functions, cells depend on their own tiny ...

Cell polarity can be defined as a structurally and functionally asymmetric organization, in which the non-random positioning of each organelle, the function of which contributes to cell asymmetry, is ...

The duplication and inheritance of both the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and Golgi apparatus is coupled to cell-cycle progression. Although the exact mechanisms underlying ER and Golgi inheritance ...

Biomedical engineers at Duke University have demonstrated a method for controlling the phase separation of an emerging class of proteins to create artificial membrane-less organelles within human ...

It is important to know the component of cell i.e Plasma Membrane, Cell Wall, Nucleus, Cytoplasm, Ribosomes, Golgi bodies, Mitochondria, Lysosomes, and Plastids etc. Image courtesy: ...
