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 ...

Scientists apply principles of math and physics to unravel the mystery of how the endoplasmic reticulum, an organelle vital ...

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 eukaryote is any cell or organism that possesses a clearly defined nucleus ... lysosomes break down and recycle cellular components and the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) synthesizes lipids and proteins ...

A team of Chinese researchers led by Prof. WANG Likun from the Institute of Biophysics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has provided new insights into metabolic disease mechanisms and potential ...

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 ...

COPII works at the endoplasmic reticulum and clathrin acts at the plasma membrane. Lee and Goldberg now determine the structure of a COPI subcomplex and find that it shares key features of both ...
