New research, published recently in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, uncovers the unique dynamics governing the endoplasmic reticulum (ER)’s evolution and addresses the long-standing ...

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 ...
