The peripheral endoplasmic reticulum (ER) forms a continuous, dynamic network of tubules that plays an important role in protein transport and quality control, cellular signaling, and stress response.

The Golgi body (or Golgi complex, apparatus), and Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) are both organelles found in the majority of eukaryotic cells. They are very closely associated and show both ...

University of Western Australia research reveals how cells convert physical exercise forces into energy production responses.

The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is a compartment (organelle) in eukaryotic cells that consists of membrane sacs called cisternae. Because of the bound ribosomes, the 'rough' ER is the site of ...

Endoplasmic reticulum stress or malfunction can contribute to neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s. Scientists have peered at this organelle under microscopes many times ...

In addition to the nucleus, eukaryotic cells may contain several other types of organelles, which may include mitochondria, chloroplasts, the endoplasmic reticulum, the Golgi apparatus, and ...

WIKIMEDIA, BLAUSEN GALLERY 2014 Super-resolution images of human and monkey cells have revealed the structural details of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), a membranous organelle that supports ...

The coordination of organelle growth with overall cell growth has been explored primarily through scaling relationships between organelle sizes and host cell sizes. For example, it’s widely accepted ...

Organelles must exchange signals and materials to make the cell operate correctly. New technologies are allowing ... the mitochondria and the endoplasmic reticulum, ...

Two enzymes that plants need to make oils live in different organelles, a pair of RIKEN researchers has found1. This finding will help inform efforts to tweak the metabolism of plants to boost their ...
