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.

A new review in Cold Spring Harbor Perspectives in Biology from the Lippincott-Schwartz Lab at HHMI's Janelia Research Campus examines the diverse endoplasmic reticulum structures that have been ...

A study in budding yeast suggests that changes in membrane lipids trigger a braking system that slows internal protein ...

According to “Global Cancer Statistics- 2022”, colorectal cancer (CRC) ranks third in incidence and second in cancer-related mortality. Given that approximately 50% of cases progress to metastasis and ...

Inside cells, there exists an extensive system of canals known as the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), which consists of membrane-encased tubes that are partially broken down as needed -- for instance in ...
