New research details the subcellular structures in neurons that enable signals to be transmitted from where they are received at specific sites on dendrites to the decision-making cell body located ...

New research shows that a network of subcellular structures similar to those responsible for propagating molecular signals ...

New research reveals that brain cells use a muscle-like signaling mechanism to relay information over long distances.

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 ...

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.

The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is a crucial organelle present in all eukaryotic cells, including human cells. The ER plays a ...

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 ...

In biology textbooks, the endoplasmic reticulum is often portrayed as a distinct, compact organelle near the nucleus, and is commonly known to be ...

Our research group studies the mechanisms of protein trafficking and quality control at the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) in mammalian cells. A major focus of research is on the COPII protein machinery ...
