The peripheral endoplasmic reticulum (ER) forms a continuous ... Investigating how the unique structure of the ER arises and supports its function is critical to developing a mechanistic ...

In addition to the nucleus, eukaryotic cells may contain several other types of organelles, which may include mitochondria, chloroplasts, the endoplasmic reticulum, the Golgi apparatus ...

The Jokitalo group studies structure-function interplay of organelles in mammalian cells. Our main model organelle is the endoplasmic reticulum. We employ a wide range of basic biological techniques ...

A protein's function directly depends on its folded structure ... reticulum — a specialized type of endoplasmic reticulum found in muscle cells. Since calcium is essential for muscle contraction ...

The new research finds that the endoplasmic reticulum and the plasma membrane form contact sites where specialized molecules control the release of calcium, which regulates the signals sent along ...

The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is the portion of the cell responsible for manufacturing and folding proteins. Proteins are ...
