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 ...

Cells have extensive sets of intracellular membranes, which together compose the endomembrane system. The endomembrane system was first discovered in the late 1800s when scientist Camillo Golgi ...

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 ...

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

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 ...
