When it comes to eukaryotic cells, the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stands as a multifaceted organelle with distinct regions, each playing a crucial role in cellular functions. ER has two different ...

Janelia researchers have uncovered a novel way that two of the structures inside cells-the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and ...

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 endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is a compartment (organelle) in eukaryotic cells that consists of membrane sacs called cisternae. Because of the bound ribosomes, the 'rough' ER is the site of synthesis ...

Misfolded proteins cause intracellular stress, which induces the unfolded-protein response (UPR). The UPR is a three-pronged signalling pathway that induces genes which cause cells to acquire a ...

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 ...
