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.

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 ...

A team of Chinese researchers led by Prof. WANG Likun from the Institute of Biophysics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has provided new insights into metabolic disease mechanisms and potential ...

Scientists apply principles of math and physics to unravel the mystery of how the endoplasmic reticulum, an organelle vital ...

Inside cells, there exists an extensive system of canals known as the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), which consists of membrane-encased tubes that are partially broken down as needed—for instance ...

A natural compound found in everyday fruits and vegetables may hold the key to protecting nerve cells — and it’s showing ...

Here I discuss recent advances in the study of endoplasmic reticulum stress as one mechanism that links immune response with nutrient sensing in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis and its ...

A natural substance found in everyday fruits and vegetables might one day help treat serious brain and nerve diseases like ...

In lab-grown nerve cells from ALS patients, a natural compound found in certain fruits and vegetables helped the cells ...

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 ...

Wang made the remarks in an interview with China Science Daily on March 28. The endoplasmic reticulum is often termed the cellular “highway” that links sub-cellular structures such as the ...

In lab-grown nerve cells from ALS patients, the compound helped the cells produce more energy and eased stress in the protein-processing center of the cell called the endoplasmic reticulum.
