Inter-organelle communication via the formation of membrane contact sites (MCS) is essential for cell homeostasis. Bacterial pathogens residing in membrane bound vacuoles have exploited this ...

Adhesion junction is crucial for the stability of the epithelial lateral membrane and the maintenance of cell polarity. E-cadherin is an essential ... systematic cell biology experiments ...

They swirled together in shallow, primordial brews or near deep-sea ocean vents, where they extracted energy from the environment and reproduced by dividing one cell into two daughter cells. Then, one ...

Compared to molecular techniques to study single cells, images feel a little like “old school biology,” says Anne Carpenter, an artificial intelligence and cell biology researcher at the Broad ...

Trafficking via distinct cargo-specific carriers is further supported by showing that repression of proteins essential for conventional cargo secretion does not affect UapA trafficking, while blocking ...
