Janelia researchers have uncovered a novel way that two of the structures inside cells—the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and lysosomes—coordinate the production of proteins, highlighting how interactions ...

“It used to be that for a long time, we thought that type 2 diabetes was just your insulin not working — insulin resistance,” says Feroz Papa, MD, PhD. “But that’s only partly the case. Insulin ...

The current pandemic of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has spurred intense interest into the mechanisms of cell damage and tissue death following infection by the severe acute respiratory ...

About one-fourth of recurrent estrogen receptor-positive (ER+) breast cancers lose ER expression, which renders them resistant to endocrine therapy and able to grow uncontrolled. A team of researchers ...

When improperly folded proteins build up in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), cells become stressed and conditions such as type 2 diabetes, neurodegenerative disorders, and cancers can develop. In a ...

De novo cholesterol biosynthesis is a key metabolic vulnerability in rhabdomyosarcoma. Its inhibition halts cell ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract Cells of onion and garlic root tips were examined under the electron and phase contrast microscopes after fixation in KMnO4. Special attention ...

Tumor cells can develop resistance to endocrine therapy, a major obstacle limiting the success of breast cancer treatment. The complicated crosstalk, both genomic and nongenomic, between estrogen ...
