Alongside organelles such as mitochondria and Golgi apparatuses, membraneless structures help compartmentalize the cytoplasm, as well as the interior of the nucleus. In contrast to organelles with a ...

The endoplasmic reticulum (ER), extending throughout the cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells, is a central organelle involved in lipid metabolism, Ca 2+ homeostasis, and synthesis and folding of secretory ...

Non-selective macroautophagy is stimulated by starvation. Organelle-specific macroautophagy processes such as mitophagy, pexophagy and ribophagy remove damaged organelles.

Mitochondria organelles came from primordial bacterial endosymbionts and still preserve distinct genes for important functions like making ATP. To speed the emerging therapeutic research into the ...

New research, published recently in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, uncovers the unique dynamics governing the endoplasmic reticulum (ER)’s evolution and addresses the long-standing ...

Cells navigating in complex microenvironments frequently encounter narrow spaces that physically challenge migration.

The first genetic evidence of hydrogenosomes—organelles found in some ciliates, trichomonads, and fungi that generate hydrogen and adenosine triphosphate (ATP)—that evolved from mitochondria is ...

But to define the location of proteins at a more ... location of particular proteins one at a time, their new approach, Organelle Profiling, considers them as constituents of a cell's organelles ...

What are lipid transfer events and why do they matter? Budin: The call for this award was on organelle communication. Organelles are structures in cells that perform jobs, just like the organs in our ...

Most animal, plant and fungal cells contain organelles called mitochondria. These descendants of a primordial bacterial endosymbiont still preserve distinct genes and are known for their ability to ...
