In a study that may guide drug design, researchers find organelles encounter varying levels of resistance, depending on their size and speed, as they move through a cell's cytoplasm.

Small protein molecules almost do not experience the cytoplasm viscosity while moving within the cell. Scientists have now shown that the effect can be described universally to include viscosity ...

The inside of a cell is packed with stuff; from big organelles to small molecules, the cytoplasm is the suspension which contains all those components. Researchers at MIT wanted to know more about how ...

When normal cells were treated with heat shock, HuR was exported to the cytoplasm in a chromosome maintenance region 1 (CRM1)-dependent manner.

Cells are highly controlled spaces that rely on every protein being in the right place. Many diseases, including cancers and ...

While studying a degenerative eye disease, researchers find the first evidence that cells produce endogenous DNA in the cytoplasm. Drugs that block this activity are linked with reduced risk of ...

It has been suggested that the cytoplasm of living cells can be described as a porous elastic meshwork bathed in an interstitial fluid. Microindentation tests now show that intracellular water ...

Plant and animal cells are both extremely important to the survival of millions of species and without them, life couldn’t ...

"These proteins are not freely floating around the cytoplasm but group in a certain way to form compartments, in a kind of order that enables them to perform cell functions.

Biomolecular condensates help regulate global cellular physiology by generating electric potential gradients through the cytoplasm.

In a study that may guide drug design, MIT researchers find organelles encounter varying levels of resistance, depending on their size and speed, as they move through a cell's cytoplasm.
