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

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 ...

In addition to the nucleus, eukaryotic cells may contain several other types of organelles, which may include mitochondria, chloroplasts, the endoplasmic reticulum, the Golgi apparatus ...

The endoplasmic reticulum, or ER, is the largest organelle in the cell and plays essential roles in protein synthesis and trafficking as well as lipid and calcium homeostasis. Despite the relatively ...

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 ...

In humans, the main molecular energy carrier is adenosine triphosphate (ATP). It is critical for cellular functions all over ...

The table below list organelles, their function and the types of cell that they can be found in. Can you fill in the blanks to complete the table? Cell structure Description Function Cell type ...

Think back to that basic biology class you took in high school. You probably learned about organelles, those little “organs” inside cells that form compartments with individual functions.

Plant cells contain subunits including walls, membrane systems (golgi, plasma membrane, nuclear membrane, endoplasmic reticulum) and organelles (mitochondria, nucleus, chloroplasts), and ...

This review explores the role of lysosomal stress in pancreatic diseases, particularly diabetes mellitus. Lysosomes, crucial ...
