Researchers at the University of Geneva have developed a technique that enables visualization of cellular organelles at a resolution that has not previously been achievable in optical microscopy.

Cells are filled with membrane-bound organelles like the nucleus, mitochondria and endoplasmic reticula. Over the years, scientists have made much progress in understanding the biomolecular details of ...

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 ...

Although known since the 1830s as a round, dark spot in a cell's nucleus, only recently has the nucleolus gotten its full due. Scientists have learned that besides building a cell's protein factories, ...

Researchers report February 29 in the journal Cell Reports that the Golgi ribbon, an organelle structure previously thought to be exclusive to vertebrates, is also present in animal taxa, including ...

All living organisms are made up of cells. It is the basic, structural, and functional unit of life. Also, it is known as "Building blocks of life". Cell biology is the study of cells. It consists of ...

The cell is the structural and functional unit of living organisms. It was discovered by Robert Hooke in 1665. Cell in Latin means “little room”. Many organisms, such as bacteria, protozoa and yeasts ...

Each organelle has a very distinct structure depending on the functions it supports. Our aim is to understand structure-function interplay of organelles in mammalian cells. We employ a wide range of ...
