New research, published recently in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, uncovers the unique dynamics governing ...

A team of researchers, including two from UC San Diego, have developed a physical model demonstrating that ... and ions throughout the cell. "The ability to maintain large, complex structures ...

The table below list organelles, their function and the types of cell that they can be found in. Can you fill in the blanks to complete the table? Cell structure Description Function Cell type ...

The Jokitalo group studies structure-function interplay of organelles in mammalian cells. Our main model organelle is the endoplasmic reticulum. We employ a wide range of basic biological techniques ...

1 Despite having been overlooked for the last century, this has turned out to be a prescient description of the interior of eukaryotic cells. In addition to membrane-encased organelles—the nucleus, ...

Organelles are entities within a eukaryotic cell that have a specialised function ... including essential lipases in both yeast and mammalian model systems.

In contrast to organelles with a lipid bilayer membrane, membraneless structures are formed through a process known as liquid-liquid phase separation. When it comes to how and why cells create and use ...

Scientists who model membrane structure and dynamics ... but also intracellular membranes that surround various organelles. In such cells, the plasma membrane is part of an extensive endomembrane ...

Because they are confined within cells, organelles were not believed to play ... By extending the Active Foam Model, we identified a new mode of solid-to-fluid transition, governed by the relative ...

2 Endosymbiotic events are believed to have led to the development of membrane-bound organelles such as mitochondria. Thanks to mitochondria, eukaryotic ancestors had enough energy to develop into the ...
