The organelle, a type of specialized structure, has been dubbed a “hemifusome” by its discoverers at the University of ...

Uri Manor’s own hearing loss may not have originally inspired his research path, but his work on the topic now may lead to ...

After centuries of mapping the human body in ever-finer detail, scientists are still making discoveries. Here we are, in 2025 ...

With a new method, researchers have captured a high-resolution metabolic “map” of how cells orchestrate glucose processing, ...

Biophysicist Seham Ebrahim of the University of Virginia and her team of researchers were observing mammalian cells when they discovered hemifusomes, which previously eluded detection because they are ...

The nucleolus is where ribosomal RNA (rRNA) is transcribed, processed, and assembled into the building blocks of ribosomes, the molecular machines that make proteins. Researchers discovered that rRNA ...
