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 ...

Because they are confined within cells, organelles were not believed to play ... By extending the Active Foam Model, we identified a new mode of solid-to-fluid transition, governed by the relative ...

Organelles are entities within a eukaryotic cell that have a specialised function ... including essential lipases in both yeast and mammalian model systems.

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 ...

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 ...

The research in the program elucidates the basic principles of cell and organelle dynamics, and molecular pathways that regulate organogenesis in vertebrate, invertebrate and plant model systems. The ...
