Hundreds of animals, from tiny ants to mighty hippos, are shaping the Earth's surface as powerfully as floods and storms. These animals effectively act as landscape engineers, reorganizing soils and ...

Mitochondria are the powerhouses in our cells, producing the energy for all vital processes. Using cryo-electron tomography, researchers have now gained insight into the architecture of mitochondria ...

Ten years ago, nobody knew that Asgard archaea even existed. In 2015, however, researchers examining deep-sea sediments ...

Cells can also send out packages called exosomes, lipid vesicles that bubble off from the cell membrane. But for about 20 ...

This paper presents the important finding that BNIP3/NIX, a mitophagy receptor, and its binding to ATG18 are required for mitophagy during muscle cell reorganization in Drosophila. Although the ...

Aortic dissection is a life-threatening condition with complex immunological underpinnings. This article explored the causal relationships among immune cells, inflammatory proteins, and aortic ...

nuclei and tiny structures in cells known as organelles. The team then created their software, μSAM, which enables researchers and medical doctors to analyse images without the need to first ...

Organelles increase in amount, a process termed biogenesis, to be ready for the next cell-division event. Figure 2: View of the ER and Golgi in yeast and animal cells. Figure 5: Golgi biogenesis ...
