Cells can be thought of as cities, with factories, a transport system, and lots of building activity. An international team ...

The secretory pathway in eukaryotic cells is crucial for maintaining cellular function and physiological activities, as it ensures the accurate transport of proteins to specific subcellular locations ...

Study details how nutrient-starved cells divert protein transport stations to cellular recycling centers to be broken down, highlighting a novel approach cells use to deal with stressful conditions. A ...

Intracellular transport is a vital process that allows cells to move proteins and other molecules to specific locations.

New research demonstrates a new class of hydrogels that can form not just outside cells, but also inside of them. These hydrogels exhibited similar mechanical properties both inside and outside of ...

Membrane protein transport and quality control are central to yeast cell homeostasis, ensuring that proteins reach their correct cellular destinations while aberrant or damaged proteins are ...

Stockholm University and SciLifeLab research uncovers how glucose transporters achieve specificity, bridging a long-standing ...

Observing proteins with precision in living cells has been a challenge for researchers across various disciplines. Now, Stefan Kubicek, PhD, and his team at CEMM Research Center for Molecular Medicine ...

Researchers at Oregon Health & Science University have identified a previously unknown system inside cells that works like internal “trade winds,” rapidly carrying essential proteins to the cell’s ...

When researchers want to study how COVID makes us sick, or what diseases such as Alzheimer's do to the body, one approach is to look at what's happening inside individual cells. Researchers sometimes ...
