Biological membranes of cells and their subunits (organelles) are organized into tiny regions (nanodomains) made up of fats ...

In the evolutionary history of life, the ability of a cell to separate its inner world from the external environment was an ...

For years, biomolecular condensates were thought to be simple, liquid-like droplets with little internal organization. New ...

Researchers shifted the focus to the internal properties of the membrane itself, specifically its viscosity, highlighting its critical role in controlling deformation and dynamics during essential ...

International research team presents new imaging technique to make lipids in cellular membranes visible and show how they are organized at the nanoscale. Dr. André Nadler nadler@mpi-cbg.de ...

A simulated cell in the early stages of division. Left half shows membrane (green cubes), and ribosomes (yellow/purple) interwoven through in the cell’s chromosome (red). Right side shows all the ...

Even after decades of peering into cells, biologists are still finding surprises. In a twist, researchers at the University of Virginia and the National Institutes of Health uncovered a new organelle, ...

Allan Albig receives funding from the National Institute of Health. Think back to that basic biology class you took in high school. You probably learned about organelles, those little “organs” inside ...
