The membrane-bound organelle appears to play a huge role in helping cells sort, discard, and recycle their contents. It's ...

At the heart of our cells, a previously unknown structure has just been identified, shedding new light on essential biological mechanisms. This discovery could transform our understanding of ...

Inside each cell of the human body are proteins that control which genes are expressed at the right place and time. However, ...

Scientists create smart cells that administer automatic treatments from inside the human body, reacting within seconds to ...

For this reason, each of the 200 different types of cells in the body has a different structure, size, shape, and function, and contains different organelles. For example: ...

These cells are fibroblast-like, without cell-type specific structures; in particular, they are devoid of ultrastructural features indicative of endothelial differentiation.…” ...

Researchers have created an early map of some of the human body's estimated 37.2 trillion cells. Each type of cell has a unique role, and knowing what all the cells do can help scientists better ...

In a new study, published today (12 July) in Nature, researchers have produced the most detailed and comprehensive human Heart Cell Atlas to date, including the specialised tissue of the cardiac ...

A new organelle has been found by scientists at the University of Virginia (UVA). The super-small specialized structure has a role recycling material inside our cells, and its discovery could lead ...
