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 ...

Researchers are studying why the energy factories are moving between cells and whether the process can be harnessed to treat ...

Breakthroughs in microscopy are illuminating organelle interactions, providing critical insights into cellular processes and ...

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 ...

You probably learned about organelles, those little "organs" inside cells that form compartments with individual functions.

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, ...

How an organelle evolves Date: March 19, 2025 Source: Heinrich-Heine University Duesseldorf Summary: Organelles in cells were originally often independent cells, which were incorporated by host ...

The primary cilium has gone from being an oddity, with no known function, to an organelle that is at the center of our understanding of both fundamental cell sensory processes and a variety of ...

Lysosomes are membrane-bound organelles in cells that act as recycling centers—breaking down waste materials, damaged ...

Mitochondria, the organelles in question, are best known as power packs—places where glucose molecules are disassembled to ...

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 ...

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