A new study published today in the Journal of Molecular Pathology found that cannabidiol (CBD) significantly influences gene ...

Fructose is an important nutrient that, despite having a chemical structure very similar to that of glucose, is metabolized ...

A 2026 review finds that the molecular scaffold HAX1 supports tumor growth, invasion, hypoxic adaptation and treatment ...

Ancient DNA unveils distinctive ancestries in the Bronze and Iron Ages of East Tianshan The cells that make up our organs are not all identical; even within the same tissue, cells can adopt different ...

The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is a cellular organelle known for its critical role in the synthesis and processing of proteins and lipids. Nestled within the extensive membrane network of the ER are ...

Janelia researchers have uncovered a novel way that two of the structures inside cells-the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and lysosomes-coordinate the production of proteins, highlighting how interactions ...

The body's cells change their shape to close gaps such as wounds – with part of the cell flexing depending on the curve of the gap and the organization of cell-internal structures, a new study reveals ...

A team of scientists has answered a long-standing question in cell biology, uncovering how the cell's main energy currency, ATP, is transported into the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Disrupted energy ...

The ER’s network of tubules rearranges itself, appearing green at first and then magenta after 60 seconds. White indicates areas where the network remains in position. Credit: Laura Westrate ...

Although fatty acids (FAs) are essential for living organisms, excess amount causes sickness through cell and tissue dysfunction and cell death, a phenomenon known as lipotoxicity. However, the ...

This work explores the physical principles underlying fluid flow and luminal transport within the endoplasmic reticulum. Its important contribution is to highlight the strong physical constraints ...
