BUFFALO, N.Y. -- In cells, numerous important biochemical functions take place within spherical chambers made from proteins and RNA. These compartments are akin to specialized rooms inside a house, ...

Cells contain various specialized structures - such as the nucleus, mitochondria or peroxisomes - known as "organelles''. Tracing their genesis and determining their structure is fundamental to ...

A new discovery inside your cells may change how scientists understand disease and design future treatments. Researchers have found a previously unknown structure in mammalian cells, something they ...

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, ...

The discovery of an unknown organelle inside our cells could open the door to new treatments for devastating inherited diseases. The organelle, a type of specialized structure, has been dubbed a ...

One way biological compounds inside cells stay organized is through membrane-less organelles (MLOs) -- wall-less liquid droplets made from proteins and RNA that clump together and stay separate from ...

In a scientific first, researchers from Vanderbilt University and the University of California, San Diego, have generated a high-resolution metabolic "map" of how cells orchestrate glucose processing, ...

Diplonemid flagellates are among the most abundant marine microeukaryote species in world ocean habitats. 1 Diplonemids are recognized for their complex organelle structure and mitochondrial DNA. 2 ...

Professor Westrate grew up in West Michigan and earned her B.S. in Biology and B.A. in Chemistry from Hope College in Holland, Michigan. Having always been interested in science, Hope College provided ...
