Scientists studying pathogens such as Chlamydia, Legionella, and Listeria get a master class in how to control the internal workings of mammalian cells.

Various microbes, including several human pathogens, hijack the cell’s skeleton, membranes, and protein-making machinery to make themselves at home.

Through his studies on cancer-causing viruses, the University of California, Los Angeles, professor has helped develop lifesaving treatments.

A single-celled organism has an energy-producing enzyme with unique features.

The functions of the cellular invaginations identified more than half a century ago are now beginning to be understood in detail.

Researchers interrogate the cavernous structures on the surface of cells to better understand how they affect membrane function.

Vinyl cyanide is thought to rain down onto Saturn’s largest moon, though whether the molecule self-assembles into membrane-like structures is unclear.

Did endosymbiosis—and the innovations in membrane bioenergetics it engendered—make it possible for eukaryotic life to evolve?

Scientists generate tumor-targeting molecules that can be used for imaging and treatment.

Electron microscopy led to the first identification of what would later be known as ribosomes.

Nobel Laureate Christian de Duve discusses the impact of George Palade’s work on ribosomes.

Researchers identify a structure in plants responsible for the production of tannins.

There are five steps of autophagosome biogenesis: induction, expansion, vesicle completion, fusion, and cargo degradation. 

Despite years of research, the longstanding mystery of where the autophagosome gets its double lipid bilayers is not much clearer.
