Scientists uncover a new cellular organelle with significant health implications

Scientists have discovered a new, temporary organelle called the hemifusome inside human cells, which plays a crucial role in sorting and recycling cellular cargo. Using advanced cryo-electron tomography, researchers observed that hemifusomes are common across various cell types and may represent a new pathway for vesicle formation, independent of traditional endocytic mechanisms. This discovery could have significant implications for understanding and treating diseases related to cellular waste management, such as Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome.
