In a study that may guide drug design, researchers find organelles encounter varying levels of resistance, depending on their size and speed, as they move through a cell's cytoplasm. Under a ...

Our knowledge of the structure of the cytoplasm has grown with the advent of advanced techniques and equipment that have allowed us to study cellular components. Over the past 150 years, such advances ...

Small protein molecules almost do not experience the cytoplasm viscosity while moving within the cell. Scientists have now shown that the effect can be described universally to include ...

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 ...

Can scrambled eggs unscramble themselves? Well, sort of. The cytoplasm of ruptured Xenopus frog eggs spontaneously reorganizes into cell-like compartments, according to a study by researchers at the ...

The purposes of this study were: (a) to measure the translational mobility of a small solute in cell cytoplasm; (b) to define quantitatively the factors that determine solute translation; and (c) to ...

First detected by Santiago Ramón y Cajal, there are strange droplets in the cytoplasm of cells that are not well understood. They are clumps of proteins that are amorphous, with no apparent structure ...
