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 ...

How Cells Regenerate Protein Factories at the Endoplasmic Reticulum New research has added more detail to the picture of ribosomal recycling and regeneration at the endoplasmic reticulum.

University of Western Australia research reveals how cells convert physical exercise forces into energy production responses.

DJ-1 is a protein with wide subcellular distribution and pleiotropic functions. The loss-of-function mutations of DJ-1 are associated with autosomal recessive early-onset Parkinson's disease yet the ...

The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is the portion of the cell responsible for manufacturing and folding proteins. Proteins are essential for a wide range of cellular functions—as enzymes ...

Scientists can now explain how prolonged stress sparks the endoplasmic reticulum to release its calcium stores, inducing cells to undergo apoptosis in several aging-related diseases.

This voyage inside the human cell reveals an amazing world of cell communication between the cell nucleus, endoplasmic reticulum, mitochondria and more.
