Discovery of Hemifusomes: Biologists Unveil New Organelle Complexes in Human Cells

A team of biologists from the University of Virginia and the National Institutes of Health has found that half of certain organelles can make up to 10% of vesicle organelles present in cells, yet they do not follow the typical endocytotic pathway. Cutting-edge Cryo-Electron microscope images of rat-1 cells cultured on Cryo-EM grids.
