DJ-1 is a protein with wide subcellular distribution and pleiotropic functions. The loss-of-function mutations of DJ-1 are associated with autosomal recessive early-onset Parkinson's disease yet the ...

Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress and the unfolded protein response are often implicated in the progression of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), from simple steatosis ...

Calcium (Ca 2+) drives many cellular functions, though the way it controls quality of proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), a cellular organelle that synthesizes and transports proteins, has not ...

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 ...

Calcium (Ca 2+) drives many cellular functions, though the way it controls quality of proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), a cellular organelle that synthesizes and transports proteins, is ...

A fat signaling system controls the interface of cellular endoplasmic reticulum (ER) with early endosomes to regulate the shape and activity of mitochondria, and allow cells to survive periods of ...

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 ...
