Peroxisomes, multifaceted functional units within cells, fulfil the most diverse of tasks. In human beings, failure of these organelles is fatal. Their biogenesis does not adhere to the standard ...

"The research lays the foundation for using artificial organelles to replace or supplement traditional stem cell therapies, bringing renewed hope for efficient and targeted neural repair," Liu said.

Scientists say they captured 3D images of a new organelle they're calling a "hemifusome," which may be a recycling center in ...

Nerve cells come in very different shapes. Researchers now reveal why, in insects, the cell body is usually located at the end of a separate extension. Using mathematical models, they show that ...

Our body is made up of many different kinds of cells, and inside each cell are organelles, tiny machines that help carry out cellular functions. New work reveals more about a network connecting two ...

In this article, we discuss the most fascinating cell type in the human body. We explain what a neuron looks like, what it does, and how it works.

Membraneless organelles, also called biomolecular condensates, are changing how scientists think about protein chemistry, various diseases and even the origin of life.

A neuron is a cell that can transmit electrical and chemical signals. Neurons are considered the building blocks of the nervous system and make up the major nerve pathways responsible for ...

Brain cells, or neurons, have multiple means of communication, and their chatter may be influenced by the cells around them, research suggests.

Nerve cells come in very different shapes. Researchers at the Bernstein Center Berlin now reveal why, in insects, the cell body is usually located at the end of a separate extension. Using ...
