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.

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 ...

In biology textbooks, the endoplasmic reticulum is often portrayed as a distinct, compact organelle near the nucleus, and is ...

Golgi thought that these intracellular membranes were interconnected, but advances in microscopy and biochemical studies of the various membrane-encased organelles later made it clear the ...

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 ...

The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is a crucial organelle present in all eukaryotic cells, including human cells. The ER plays a ...

The Jokitalo group studies structure-function interplay of organelles in mammalian cells. Our main model organelle is the endoplasmic reticulum. We employ a wide range of basic biological techniques ...

In biology textbooks, the endoplasmic reticulum is often portrayed as a distinct, compact organelle near the nucleus, and is ...

Mitochondria are critical for cellular homeostasis, regulating bioenergetics, redox balance, Ca2+ signaling, and cell death.

Previously, a collection of proteins known as the ESCRT machinery was found to patch up holes in the organelles’ membranes ... binding protein-related proteins), which tether the endoplasmic reticulum ...
