The Golgi apparatus transports and modifies proteins in eukaryotic cells. How have scientists studied dynamic protein movements through the Golgi? One of the principal observations by Rothman's group ...

The study of peptide transport mechanisms and membrane proteins has gained considerable momentum as researchers unravel the molecular intricacies underlying nutrient uptake, intracellular signalling ...

A mutation in the TDP-43 protein reduces the viability of motor neurons without triggering protein clumps, researchers found.

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 ...

A research team has revealed the molecular steps that led to the emergence of this plant-specific vacuolar transport system. Their work shows that the acquisition of this pathway was driven by the ...

Capturing a protein being made Keenan has spent most of his career focusing on how proteins are made inside cells, especially the machinery involved in how ribosomes- machines that translate genetic ...

Northwestern Medicine scientists have uncovered a surprising link between a tiny cellular engine and the way cancer cells build the DNA they need to proliferate, according to a new study published in ...

Brazilian researchers have developed a synthetic compound that has the potential to treat malaria and block its transmission. The new molecule acts during three phases of the disease cycle, ...

This illustration shows how the membrane trafficking protein VAMP72 gradually changed during plant evolution to give rise to VAMP727, which functions in transporting storage proteins to vacuoles. The ...
