According to their latest findings, control mainly occurs in the cytoplasm of the cell and not in the 'high-security tract' of the cell nucleus.

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 ...

The cytoplasm of ruptured Xenopus frog eggs spontaneously reorganizes into cell-like compartments, according to a study.

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

" [These organelles] were previously thought to be dispersed in the cytoplasm," explained Méndez. “This is the first study that characterizes how this process is regulated during the cell cycle for a ...

This bridge between sister cells allows the exchange of molecules that promote apoptosis, the process of programmed cell death in which the body rids itself of unneeded cells.
