Mitochondria are very well known as the powerhouses of the cell. Generally speaking, all eukaryotes, including plants, fungi, and animals, are made of cells that contain mitochondria. These organelles ...

The occurrence of necrotic cell death in the protist Dictyostelium (1) ... Contrast and luminosity had to be increased to see the very weak fluorescence label of cells without DIF.

Cell biologists and chemists reveal how viral DNA traffics in human cells. They have developed a new method to generate virus particles containing labeled viral DNA genomes. This allowed them to ...

In new research published this week, a team led by Marine Biological Laboratory (MBL) scientists reveals that symbiotic bacteria often accompany single-celled protists in the ocean’s upper layer ...

In their study, reported in Science, Flaum and Prakash investigated a particularly striking feature found in a protist named Lacrymaria olor. Measuring 40 µm in length, this shapeshifting organism ...
