Hemifusomes are fused vesicles, or sacs of fluid, that were previously unknown to exist inside cells. They were discovered ...

By using a genetic technique developed at UT Southwestern Medical Center that forces cells to rid themselves of mitochondria, researchers are gaining new insights into the function of these critical ...

A newly found organelle, the hemifusome, helps manage cellular recycling. It may play a role in inherited diseases and open ...

Chloroplast . This double-membraned plant organelle in is similar in some ways to the mitochondria of animal cells. The outer membrane of the chloroplast is freely permeable to small molecules via ...

Learn about the ultrastructure and organelles of animal, plant, fungal and bacterial cells. BBC Bitesize Scotland revision for SQA National 5 Biology.

Specialized structure, dubbed a “hemifusome” by University of Virginia School of Medicine and the National Institutes of ...

The complex cells that underlie animals and plants have a large collection of what are called organelles—compartments surrounded by membranes that perform specialized functions.

Even if these organelles could find a way to survive such an attack, they are unlikely to be able to function in the ...

Marine creatures house contraband structures in special organelles, which the animal raids for food in times of need.

This fluorescence image shows chloroplasts (magenta colored) successfully incorporated into the hamster cells, with other features of the animal cell also highlighted (nuclei in light blue and ...

Even if these organelles could find a way to survive such an attack, they are unlikely to be able to function in the relatively hot environment of an animal cell, where temperatures are typically ...
