The cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells is elaborately subdivided into membrane-bound compartments called organelles, each precisely tailored for a defined set of biochemical reactions. Cells must ...

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 ...

Organelles such as mitochondria and lysosomes must traverse this crowded, ever-changing cytoplasmic space to deliver materials to various parts of a cell. Now engineers at MIT have found that ...

The cytoplasm is full of a molecular mixture of organelles, proteins, compounds, and other stuff. It was once thought that things moved though cells mostly at random, even though researchers observed ...
