Here I discuss recent advances in the study of endoplasmic reticulum stress as one mechanism that links immune response with nutrient sensing in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis and its ...

The first clue about the possible connection between brain and muscle cells came when Janelia scientists noticed something ...

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 ...

Thomas Ostwald and David MacLennan were characterizing proteins that bind to calcium in the sarcoplasmic reticulum — a specialized type of endoplasmic reticulum found in muscle cells.

New research details the subcellular structures in neurons that enable signals to be transmitted from where they are received at specific sites on dendrites to the decision-making cell body located ...

The peripheral endoplasmic reticulum (ER) forms a continuous, dynamic network of tubules that plays an important role in protein transport and quality control, cellular signaling, and stress response.

Researchers from Stanford University and LMU have uncovered how cells renew their endoplasmic reticulum’s protein factories. One of the essential functions of life is the cell’s synthesis of ...
