Perhaps no device is more emblematic of this than Critter & Guitari's Organelle. It is, at its core, a computer, and I don't mean that in the same broadly defined way that almost all electronics ...

One well-known example of this type of organelle is the mitochondrion, which evolved from a bacterium. The working group ...

This specialized energy-producing organelle allowed for basically all complex forms of life to evolve. It remains the heralded "powerhouse of the cell" to this day. The second time happened about ...

Picture a living cell as if it were a city. If you were the urban planner for this (very little, very alive) city, one of the ...

Textbook drawings of the cell’s largest organelle might need to be updated based on new images. Super-resolution shots of the endoplasmic reticulum reveal tightly packed tubes where previous ...

Since 2016, Critter and Guitari's Organelle line has been one of the most unique ways to create music. What looks like a simple keyboard is actually a computer powered by a Raspberry Pi module and ...

Yet researchers may have found a new case in which an organelle devoted to fixing nitrogen from the atmosphere is in the process of evolving. The resulting organelle, termed a nitroplast ...

Now a synthetic organelle engineered in a lab shows how such puddle organs can carry out complex life-sustaining reaction chains. A couple of sugars, a dash of enzymes, a pinch of salt ...

But a recent discovery upends that rule. In two recent papers, an international team of scientists describe the first known nitrogen-fixing organelle within a eukaryotic cell. The organelle is the ...

New organelle involved in cancer metastasis Cancer researchers discover link between liquid-liquid phase separations and cancer pathology Date: March 9, 2021 Source: Princeton University Summary: ...

Proteins floating in the cytoplasm of the cell often face a similar problem: they have to specifically recognize one organelle among all the others. Many of the proteins that mediate traffic ...

Not only does their work tie phase separations to cancer research, but the merging blobs turned out to create more than the sum of their parts, self-assembling into a previously unknown organelle ...
