New method developed by UTSW researchers removes mysterious organelles from stem cells and embryos to uncover their roles.

A team led by UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers has uncovered the atomic structure of a protein complex pivotal to ...

Plant cells are armored with a stiff cell wall, so “my image of a plant cell was the cytoplasm sitting in a cage, and nobody goes anywhere,” Maliga said. The genetic evidence for transfers posed a ...

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, ...

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 ...

The nucleolus is where ribosomal RNA (rRNA) is transcribed, processed, and assembled into the building blocks of ribosomes, the molecular machines that make proteins. Researchers discovered that rRNA ...

In a study published January 1 in Science Advances, researchers demonstrated that entire organelles can move between plant cells, bringing their genomes along for the ride. In the studies before this ...

A previously unknown structure discovered in our cells could pave the way toward new treatments for various genetic disorders.. The existence of the organelle—which has been dubbed the ...
