Inside of cells, organelles perform specialized functions to keep biological functions moving, one of which is the ribosome. Ribosomes are tiny machines known for making proteins. Another organelle is ...

Calcium (Ca2+) drives many cellular functions, though the way it controls quality of proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum ...

A collaboration unveils a novel strategy for identifying key proteins in organelle communication. This approach advances our ability to pinpoint proteins essential for organelle interactions within ...

Cells use compartments known as organelles to sequester molecules or reactions as a way to control many biochemical processes. Scientists would like to do the same by engineering synthetic organelles ...

A team of researchers led by Bettina Warscheid, Ph.D., from the University of Freiburg and André Schneider, Ph.D., from the University of Bern has developed a method called “ImportOmics” that enables ...

A tool that uses light to manipulate matter inside living cells has begun to explain how proteins assemble into different liquid and gel-like solid states, a key to understanding many critical ...

Membraneless organelles contain a wide spectrum of molecular chaperones, indicating their important roles in modulating the metastable conformation and biological function of membraneless organelles.

Like workers at a factory or office, proteins in a cell must be in the right department to do their jobs. But scientists have yet to fully map the cell’s organization, much less determine how these ...

Intracellular signaling processes are frequently based on direct interactions between proteins and organelles. A fundamental strategy to elucidate the physiological significance of such interactions ...
