A further understanding of the organelle could pave the way for better treatment of genetic and neurodegenerative diseases.

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

While it is accepted that extracellular vesicles (EVs)-mediated transfer of microRNAs contributes to intercellular communication, the knowledge about molecular mechanisms controlling the selective and ...

University of Virginia scientists discover new cell organelle called "hemifusome" that helps manage cellular recycling.

It has been known for several years that abnormal chromosome numbers lead to protein imbalances in the affected cells.

Liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) has emerged as a major organizing principle in cells. Recent work showed that multiple components of integrin-mediated focal adhesions, including p130Cas can form ...

The structural diversity of the fatty acids esterified in organellar membrane lipids is thought to confer the characteristic physiological properties of the membranes. However, the abundance profiles ...
