By contrast, the cytoplasmic organelles characteristically contain multiple, homogeneous genomes that are usually inherited from one parent only (in this example, and most commonly, the female ...

Intracellular endosymbionts that originally descended from free-living prokaryotes have been important in the evolution of eukaryotes by giving rise to two cytoplasmic organelles. Mitochondria ...

Our research goals are to understand how ER shape and dynamics are regulated and by what mechanism(s) do ER contact sites drive the biogenesis of the other cytoplasmic organelles in healthy cells, in ...
