New research, published recently in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, uncovers the unique dynamics governing ...

The Jokitalo group studies structure-function interplay of organelles in mammalian cells. Our main model organelle is the endoplasmic reticulum. We employ a wide range of basic biological techniques ...

A team of researchers, including two from UC San Diego, have developed a physical model demonstrating that the structure and dynamics of the ER arise from a balance of tension-driven shrinking and ...

Organelles are entities within a eukaryotic ... including essential lipases in both yeast and mammalian model systems.

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 ...

Think back to that basic biology class you took in high school. You probably learned about organelles, those little “organs” ...
