Cells contain various specialized structures—such as the nucleus, mitochondria or peroxisomes—known as "organelles." Tracing their genesis and determining their structure is fundamental to ...

Proteins, the pillars of cellular function, often assemble into "complexes" to fulfill their functions. A study by the University of Geneva (UNIGE) and the Weizmann Institute, in collaboration with ...

Cellular self-assembly into 3D architectures is a key process in life, critical for development and deregulated in cancer. Self-assembly of tissues is directed by intercellular signaling through ...

The centriole is an evolutionarily conserved microtubule-bearing organelle with a striking 9-fold symmetrical architecture that is crucial for fundamental cellular processes in eukaryotes, including ...

In a new study published in Nature Communications titled, “The reference genome of the human diploid cell line RPE-1,” researchers from University of Rome La Sapienza have produced the first reference ...
