One well-known example of this type of organelle is the mitochondrion, which evolved from a bacterium. The working group ...

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 ...

Video shows simultaneous motions and interactions of six types of organelles in a mouse fibroblast cell. Images of the most pervasive organelle, the endoplasmic reticulum, are removed midway ...

Scientists at the Sloan Kettering Institute have discovered a new organelle. The finding challenges longstanding ideas about cell structure. Many people probably remember cell organelles from high ...

A recent study by a group of scientists has revealed that a different mechanism is responsible for the formation and maintenance of the cell organelle called endosome that sorts and distributes ...

in which a bacterial cell is permanently taken up by a eukaryotic cell that then uses the symbiote as an organelle. It's thought that in the first case of endosymbiosis, a cell took up another cell ...

Credit: Cell Reports (2024). DOI: 10.1016/j.celrep.2024.113791 The current consensus among cell biologists is that Golgi ribbons are exclusive to vertebrates, but when Ferraro's team observed ...

Plants arose when a cyanobacterium combined with a complex cell to form the chloroplast, the organelle that carries out photosynthesis. And around 60 million years ago, another cyanobacterium ...

These techniques have significantly enhanced our ability to study organelle architecture and dynamics. 2,3 Beyond spatial resolution, advancements in live-cell imaging have also enabled the ...
