Every time our body encounters a new disease-causing agent, a crucial defense system called adaptive immunity comes into play ...

This important study, which tackles the challenge of analyzing genome integrity and instability in unicellular pathogens by introducing a novel single-cell genomics approach, presents compelling ...

Across biology labs, the idea that aging might be governed by a few crucial switches is moving from science fiction to bench science. Instead of treating growing old as a slow, inevitable decline, ...

Biologists have long treated the cell as a chemical factory, but a new wave of research is forcing a rethink of that familiar ...

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, ...

Many winners of the annual Lasker Awards have gone on to win a Nobel Prize in medicine or other fields. Lucy Shapiro of Stanford University was honored for her 55-year career investigating how ...

A mysterious new organelle may reshape our understanding of cellular recycling and inherited disease. (Artist’s concept.) Credit: SciTechDaily.com A newly found organelle, the hemifusome, helps manage ...

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 "hemifusome"—was ...

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 to ...

Hemifusomes constitute up to 10% of vesicular organelles at the cell periphery but do not engage in canonical endocytic pathways, according to a team of biologists from the University of Virginia and ...
