However, in budding yeast, spores are produced within diploid cells. During this process, de novo membrane structures form within the cytosol, encapsulating the meiotic haploid nuclei to produce ...

Autophagy, the cell's essential housekeeping process, involves degrading and recycling damaged organelles, proteins, and other components to prevent clutter. This vital mechanism, found in all life ...

“The whole point of condensates is to separate biological reactions to help them work efficiently, but now when you have ...

Mysterious Blobs Found inside Cells Are Rewriting the Story of How Life Works Tiny specks called biomolecular condensates are ...

Trace metals are crucial for the growth of all living organisms. Understanding the role of these trace metals on metabolism is essential for maintaining a stable state of the organism ...

J. Ignacio Gutierrez, the first author of the paper, suspected that keeping nucleoli small could delay aging. To test this idea, they engineered an artificial way to secure rDNA to the membrane ...

THE catalase activity of intact yeast cells which is ‘patent’ (that is, active in vivo against external substrate) is biologically distinct from the activity which is ‘cryptic’ (that is ...

Deep within the nucleus of every cell lies a structure smaller than a pinpoint that may hold the secret to aging. Scientists ...

The bacterial cell wall is crucial to maintain viability. It has previously been suggested that Gram-positive bacteria have a periplasmic region between the cell membrane and peptidoglycan cell wall ...

Jan. 23, 2025 — Researchers have found that a newly developed diet inspired by the eating habits of non-industrialized societies can significantly reduce the risk of ...

This study identifies a pathway for oxidation and assembly of mitochondrial inner membrane proteins. Dbi1 is a conserved mitochondrial inner membrane protein that interacts with the unassembled pool ...
