Cryo-EM structures reveal that the ER membrane protein complex and the Spf1 ATPase form a conserved supercomplex that ...

Ben-Gurion University scientists show that destroying such proteins forces cancer cells to self-destruct, in potential key to ...

Every morning, my job was to check on the cells' well-being.I have been researching cells in a laboratory for 22 years.A day ...

Mitochondria are not only the 'engines' that burn sugar and fat, but also the metabolic command centers involved in fatty ...

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

Professor Ada Yonath won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 2009 and the Israel Prize in Chemistry in 2002. She was born in Jerusalem and worked at Weizmann Institute of Science, Rehovot. Professor Ada ...

Janelia researchers have uncovered a novel way that two of the structures inside cells-the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and lysosomes-coordinate the production of proteins, highlighting how interactions ...

Endosomes and lysosomes (collectively termed “endolysosomes”) traverse the cytoplasm in a stop-and-go manner, but the mechanisms underlying this motion remain poorly understood. Using deep ...

The body's cells change their shape to close gaps such as wounds – with part of the cell flexing depending on the curve of the gap and the organization of cell-internal structures, a new study reveals ...

A team of scientists has answered a long-standing question in cell biology, uncovering how the cell's main energy currency, ATP, is transported into the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Disrupted energy ...

The ER’s network of tubules rearranges itself, appearing green at first and then magenta after 60 seconds. White indicates areas where the network remains in position. Credit: Laura Westrate ...

Although fatty acids (FAs) are essential for living organisms, excess amount causes sickness through cell and tissue dysfunction and cell death, a phenomenon known as lipotoxicity. However, the ...
