Researchers succeeded in cracking the formation mechanism of 'microsomes'

  • No comments
Microsomes are recently discovered cellular organelles that are formed by local swelling of membrane fibers formed during cell migration. The microsomes store intracellular biomolecules such as DNA, RNA, proteins and even whole organelles such as the mitochondria and affect the intercellular communication
