Lysosomes are membrane-bound organelles whose acidic lumen (pH 4.5–5.0) is required for degradation. This luminal acidity is ...
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, ...
A Scripps team has adapted advanced imaging and computation to measure cell membrane thickness inside intact animal and yeast ...
Hyperspectral imaging has provided an insight into how cells organize and prioritize organelle growth. As cells grow, their organelles also need to grow. But do all the organelles grow at the same ...
Scientists have long known that cellular membranes vary in thickness, but measuring those differences inside actual cells has ...
A team from Würzburg has fundamentally changed our understanding of platelet biology. The researchers demonstrate that the ...
The lab has developed ultra-small DNA nanodevices that can function inside living cells, illuminating biological processes.
All modern multicellular life — all life that any of us regularly see — is made of cells with a knack for compartmentalization. Recent discoveries are revealing how the first eukaryote got its start.
