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 ...

Bacteria are only the only organisms that are able to 'fix' nitrogen, or remove it from the atmosphere and convert it into a useful form. While some plants seem to fix nitrogen, it is actually ...

UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers have identified how the quintessential immune protein known as stimulator of ...

A set of new imaging tools now allows researchers to see how specific fat molecules, called phospholipids, are distributed ...

Two studies by scientists at the University of Chicago have demonstrated a new way to look into the inner workings of cells—in particular, to track the flow of ions inside the many tiny organelles ...

WashU researchers implanted nanodiamond quantum biosensors into living cells to measure mitochondrial magnetism and ...

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, ...
