Researchers show in today's Nature Cell Biology that stem cells and cancer cells collect used midbodies, whereas differentiated cells digest the organelle through autophagy. “The midbody is now ...

A new study unravels the relationship between mitofusins (mitochondrial proteins) and autophagy. Using gene editing with CRISPR-Cas9, the team has been able to study these proteins without altering ...

"I'm of the mind that if you want to learn new biology, just look at cells," Acevedo-Sánchez says. "Manipulating the organelle that establishes contact with other organelles could be a great way ...

Key regulators of stomata are plant vacuoles, fluid-filled organelles bound by a single ... equivalent in function to lysosomes in mammalian cells (Figure 1). A special feature of guard cells ...

Her PhD and post doctoral research was in molecular biology. She has previously ... of biochemistry that’s possible in this organelle,” Coale said, “and how it’s integrated with the rest of the cell’s ...

As the new program gears up, it will foster a fertile ground for a handful of incoming scientists, including Jennifer Lippincott-Schwartz, who is moving to Janelia after 23 years as chief of the ...
