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 ...
Cryo-EM structures reveal that the ER membrane protein complex and the Spf1 ATPase form a conserved supercomplex that ...
The body's cells change their shape to close gaps such as wounds – with part of the cell flexing depending on the curve of the gap and the organization of cell-internal structures, a new study reveals ...
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 ...
A new study from Ben-Gurion University of the Negev (BGU) has identified a molecular switch that controls whether stressed human cells activate a survival mechanism or trigger programmed cell death ...
The cell's endoplasmic reticulum (ER) plays a central role in protein synthesis, folding, and calcium (Ca²⁺) storage. When damaged, ER-phagy (self-eating) removes affected ER regions via ...
New research shows that chronic IRE1α-mediated endoplasmic reticulum stress simultaneously boosts melanin production and ...
Pyroptosis, a highly inflammatory type of programmed cell death, has garnered attention for its potential in cancer treatment. Characterized by cell swelling and the formation of "bubble" structures, ...
