Previously unknown 'loading dock' found inside human cells
A new organelle has been found by scientists at the University of Virginia (UVA). The super-small specialized structure has a role recycling material inside our cells, and its discovery could lead to improved treatments for a wide range of diseases.
The super-small specialized structure has a role recycling material inside our cells, and its discovery could lead to improved treatments for a wide range of diseases. Some of the more well-known organelles include the mitochondria, which produces chemical energy; the ribosomes, which put proteins together; and the nuclei, which store our genetic material. The team also points to how its finding could help some rare genetic disorders such as Hemansky-Pudlak syndrome, which can cause issues with blood clotting, vision problems, albinism and more.
