Just as life pulsates in big vibrant cities, it also prospers in crowded environments inside cells. The interior of cells is densely packed with biomolecules like proteins and nucleic acids. How is ...

Back in 2018, the lab of Christine Mayr, MD, PhD, at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK) introduced the world to a key cellular component that had been hiding in plain sight. Now the lab is ...

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 ...

UC Davis researchers tracked the movement of fluorescent particles inside the cells of microscopic worms, providing novel insights into cellular crowding in a multicellular animal. They found that the ...

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. Under a ...
