Abstract:
With the development of imaging and analytical techniques, the understanding of cells is becoming increasingly profound. Decades or even a hundred years after the discovery of classic membranous organelles, more and more membraneless organelles have been discovered. This review focuses on the discovery, distribution, and evolutionary conservatism of a new type of membraneless organelle, the cytoophidium, and explores the structure, function, and application of cytoophidia and metabolic filaments.
