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 ...

A team of researchers, including two from UC San Diego, have developed a physical model demonstrating that ... and ions throughout the cell. "The ability to maintain large, complex structures ...

In contrast to organelles with a lipid bilayer membrane, membraneless structures are formed through a process known as liquid-liquid phase separation. When it comes to how and why cells create and use ...

The table below list organelles, their function and the types of cell that they can be found in. Can you fill in the blanks to complete the table? Cell structure Description Function Cell type ...

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 ...

Scientists who model membrane structure and dynamics ... but also intracellular membranes that surround various organelles. In such cells, the plasma membrane is part of an extensive endomembrane ...

2 Endosymbiotic events are believed to have led to the development of membrane-bound organelles such as mitochondria. Thanks to mitochondria, eukaryotic ancestors had enough energy to develop into the ...
