Inter-organelle communication via the formation of membrane contact sites (MCS) is essential for cell homeostasis. Bacterial pathogens residing in membrane bound vacuoles have exploited this ...

Chronic viral hepatitis is the long-term inflammation of the liver. It is caused by hepatitis B, C or D virus particles. Even ...

The peripheral endoplasmic reticulum (ER) forms a continuous, dynamic network of tubules that plays an important role in ...

The KNS3-KNSTH1-KNSTH2 complex acts as a cargo receptor for the transport of boric acid channels from the endoplasmic reticulum to the plasma membrane.

Botanists have come to understand the channels and transporters involved in the uptake and transport of nutrients, yet how ...

The peripheral endoplasmic reticulum (ER) forms a continuous, dynamic network of tubules that plays an important role in ...

This work explores the physical principles underlying fluid flow and luminal transport within the endoplasmic reticulum. Its important contribution is to highlight the strong physical constraints ...

While it can be sourced from various animals, it is most commonly associated with beef. Beef tripe comes from the first three stomachs of a cow's digestive tract: the rumen, reticulum, and omasum.

Proteins that are destined to be exported from the cell undergo folding in a compartment of the cell called the endoplasmic reticulum. This folding is assisted by chaperones (which are themselves also ...
