Metabolic diseases such as obesity and diabetes are increasingly associated with the intricate dynamics of organelles, including mitochondria, endoplasmic ...

Why do cells age—and why do we lose our energy and vitality as we get older? This question is one of the central challenges ...

Every cell in your body runs on tiny power plants called mitochondria. When they sputter, you feel it: fatigue sets in, ...

For the first time, researchers have directly visualized how newly formed cellular organelles leave the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and transition onto microtubule tracks inside living cells. This new ...

A collaboration unveils a novel strategy for identifying key proteins in organelle communication. This approach advances our ability to pinpoint proteins essential for organelle interactions within ...

As we go about our day, the trillions of cells in our bodies run like well-oiled machines: continually sensing what's happening around them and making modifications to keep us humming along. Like ...

Every cell in your body runs on tiny power plants called mitochondria, and new research published in May 2025 in Nature Cell ...

Researchers at the VIB-KU Leuven Center for Cancer Biology have uncovered how a unique interaction between two cellular compartments, namely the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and mitochondria, can act as ...

"It contains a collection of sub-cellular organelles that look very much like the lens, cornea, iris and retina of multicellular eyes found in humans and other large animals." Due to its complicated ...

In work conducted at both UC Santa Barbara and the Physics of Life Excellence Cluster of TU Dresden, biophysicist Otger Campàs and his research group have found that cell nuclei control the ...
