Cells have extensive sets of intracellular membranes, which together compose the endomembrane system. The endomembrane system was first discovered in the late 1800s when scientist Camillo Golgi ...

"We discovered that plant proteins also tubulated endoplasmic reticulum membrane. Moreover, we found that these plant proteins are concentrated at plasmodesmata." The team's research revealed that ...

New research details the subcellular structures in neurons that enable signals to be transmitted from where they are received at specific sites on dendrites to the decision-making cell body located ...

For instance, proteins that are destined for the vacuoles/lysosomes are synthesized at the endoplasmic reticulum ... characterized in animal cells, plant cells are less well understood.

The Würzburg plant scientists were right: when they inhibited calcium storage in the endoplasmic reticulum of the cell, the ...
