For a long time, extracellular vesicles (EVs) were often thought of as garbage bags containing a myriad of materials that cells don’t need. But scientists have since learned that EVs are instrumental ...

Study details how nutrient-starved cells divert protein transport stations to cellular recycling centers to be broken down, highlighting a novel approach cells use to deal with stressful conditions. A ...

Researchers have developed artificial cell-like structures using inorganic matter that autonomously ingest, process, and push out material -- recreating an essential function of living cells. Their ...

For the first time, researchers have directly visualized how newly formed cellular organelles leave the endoplasmic reticulum ...
