Inside our cells, ribosomes—the tireless "protein factories" of life—have just shown off a new skill they haven't used in ...

A set of breakthroughs from scientists at the Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) is ...

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

LMU researchers have demonstrated a possible mechanism for metabolic processes without cell membranes in water-filled pores.

Though all eukaryotic cells share a common set of features, some key differences exist between plant and animal cells. For starters, plant cells have a cell wall, a rigid outer layer that provides ...

Ricin is a ribosome inactivating protein that catalytically removes a universally conserved adenine from the α-sarcin/ricin loop (SRL) of the 28S rRNA. We recently showed that ricin A chain (RTA) ...
