These include stress granules and proteasome storage granules (PSGs). In the past, these membraneless organelles were only visible as “droplets” using a fluorescence microscope. Now, researchers from ...

Researchers have developed synthetic genes that function like the genes in living cells. The artificial genes can build intracellular structures through a cascading sequence that builds ...

Scientists have transformed enigmatic cell structures, called vaults, into storage units for messenger-RNA molecules made in ...

The human genome has to be carefully organized so it will fit inside of the nuclei of cells, while also remaining accessible ...

This article was originally featured on Knowable Magazine. More than 1.5 billion years ago, a momentous thing happened: Two small, primitive cells became one. Perhaps more than any event—barring the ...
