Plasmodesmata are only present in plant and algae cells and are not present in animal cells. Lysosomes are membrane-bound ...

A new tool called PHOTON, developed by scientists at UT Southwestern Medical Center, can identify RNA molecules at their native locations within cells—providing valuable clues to where different RNA ...

A newly found organelle, the hemifusome, helps manage cellular recycling. It may play a role in inherited diseases and open ...

An international research team has uncovered a surprising way compartments within cells work together to defend themselves ...

Hemifusomes are fused vesicles, or sacs of fluid, that were previously unknown to exist inside cells. They were discovered ...

A previously unknown structure discovered in our cells could pave the way toward new treatments for various genetic disorders ...

By using a genetic technique developed at UT Southwestern Medical Center that forces cells to rid themselves of mitochondria, researchers are gaining new insights into the function of these critical ...

Problems with how cells handle cargo are at the root of many such disorders. "We're just beginning to understand how this new organelle fits into the bigger picture of cell health and disease," ...

Plant hormones, also known as phytohormones, are chemicals that regulate plant cell processes. They are signal molecules produced within the plant functioning in extremely low concentrations ...

Plant sciences articles from across Nature Portfolio Plant sciences is the study of plants in all their forms and interactions using a scientific approach.

The mechanical properties of cells are known to be a label-free, inherent marker of biological function in health and disease. Wide-spread utilization has so far been impeded by the lack of a ...

This paper presents an electrical impedance spectroscopy based microfabricated sensor capable of detecting and differentiating tumor cells at single cell accuracy. Cell labeling, device ...
