A study explores how membraneless organelles (MLOs) or biomolecular condensates, form and organize themselves. The research lays out physical rules controlling the arrangement of various types of ...

Biomedical engineers at Duke University have demonstrated a method for controlling the phase separation of an emerging class of proteins to create artificial membrane-less organelles within human ...

Scientists have created a set of tools to make annotated 3D images of cells, showing the relationships between different organelles. Open any introductory biology textbook, and you'll see a familiar ...

Animals display an extraordinary array of structural adaptations that are intimately linked to their functional capacities. From the microscopic organisation of tissues and cells to the macroscopic ...

Open any introductory biology textbook, and you'll see a familiar diagram: A blobby-looking cell filled with brightly colored structures – the inner machinery that makes the cell tick. Cell biologists ...

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 ...
