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.

All human cells are enclosed in a greasy membrane that is embedded with thousands of different proteins. These so-called membrane proteins carry out countless functions, from regulating our blood ...

Deep inside every cell, the endoplasmic reticulum works as the cellular factory where newly made proteins are folded, checked ...

A new review in the Journal of Translational Medicine argues that mitochondria-associated endoplasmic reticulum membranes integrate lipid metabolism and ferroptosis to drive myocardial ...

Within aging organisms, cells slowly lose their youthful precision: Membranes stiffen, repair systems malfunction, and proteins begin to misfold and pile up. One of the cell organelles that ...
